Uncertainties

The sun appears, but it is wan,
Meanwhile, in Germany it's rum
One lone gunman, full of hate
Shoots migrants* dead, incites debate.

Is the Extreme Right on the move?
In Germany a well-worn groove,
Shades of the past rise to the fore

Elsewhere precautions are in place
Lest Corona virus show its face
While Belgium wrong-foots Philippe (King)
New Government? A tricky thing ...

Brussels 'Schuman' Summit: chaos reigns
Metro closed – except for trains
More roadworks, traffic cones appear
Of course – this happens every year!

Hanau and Wuhan - headline news;
The U.S. Democrats enthuse
Champing at the bit, they try
To convince us Don must say goodbye...

* In Hanau - 9 deaths
