    Poem: A Second Wave? – 27/06/20

    The world is tense,
    while some are
    carefree,
     
    double digits daily,
    this is gravely worrying.
     
    Have we become
    too lax
    with social distancing?
     
    Family gatherings
    with warm kisses
    and hugs,
    entering personal territory?
     
    Outbreaks in
    differing neighbourhoods,
    participation in
    public protesting:
    some finger-point the blame,
     
    as they fought for
    rights and beliefs,
    making strong, fervent points,
     
    while some unknowingly
    spread coronavirus,
    while maybe mildly
    or completely unaware,
     
    are there truthfully
    some who should wear
    the blame?
     
    Did anyone detect early sickness
    and hold little concern for others,
    and show no care?
      
    Why didn’t they
    stay at home?
    Those with symptoms,
    but those asymptomatic,
    how could they have known?
     
    Retreat into
    the safety
    of your house,
    we don’t want
    firm restrictions
    back in place,
     
    although at this point
    it’s becoming
    seemingly necessary,
     
    isolation impending,
    for me, you,
    us and them.
