RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Freedom Day
It’s Freedom Day in London Town
One has to wonder why
Is it the freedom to live one’s life
Or the freedom to rot and die?
Boris the Clown is back
He shrugs with a mischievous grin:
If not now then when?
Here’s an answer for you Boris
When the virus is on the wane
Not a moment before then
Or have you gone completely insane?
But Boris is not listening
Seems he’s been here once before
He’s in quarantine again
And he seems a trifle bored
So Britain becomes a petri dish
For mutations to rise and spread
How will it all affect us?
Will we stop counting the dead?
We must wonder if it had to be
Could the people stand no more?
Will we wonder at the price and ask:
What were we fighting for?
