A Case of Staying Put?

Goldfish in life's large glass bowl
We dart and swirl, achieving nought
Because of COVID we've no goal
«New-Normal» times unravel thought...

In culture venues - empty seats
Big festivals seem out of place
Masked - all people whom one meets
Deep fault line in the human race...

Gold certainties of life «before»
Melt like morning dew in sun;
Unemployment figures soar
«Curse of an Angry God!» say some ...

Invisible yet everywhere
The Virus turns big cities red
Journeys must be planned with care
Public transport causes dread ...

Conflicting rules and regulations
Each country dreams theirs up alone!
Corona laughs and blights bold nations;
What lies ahead is dark, unknown ...
