COVID 19
After all the fuss
Before the virus struck
Could we have understand better?
Death was not just a number
Every one mattered
For each family
Given no choice
Heaven knows this was tough
If only we had known
Just for a moment
Kindness became the norm
Little by little
Must we reprieve this all?
Not just night by night
Only for another repetition of the five tests
Possibly there could be a better way….
Rather than regrets for the dead’s families
Silent prayers at home, not in churches
Thus it was, for then
Until a better time was found
Very little could be learnt
Wishing it was otherwise was useless
Extra vigilance via trace or app
Yes, it could have been better handled
Zen might be a useful concept, rather than apportion blame
