Curtailing freedoms breeds deep stress
The thin blue
line put to the test;
“Boum 2”
happened in the Park*
Disturbances till after dark …
Such revels water-cannons
blight;
A vast clean-up
in morning light;
1-3-2 arrests
were made
As party tempers
were soon frayed.
The jabs continue;
Belgians queue
It seems the
safest thing to do;
While India
bears the greatest brunt
Sad families
for health beds hunt…
Bergamo, Rio and
now Delhi
Mass overcrowding
shock - on telly!
Faced now with
a mammoth task
India’s
vaccines roll out fast.
Though top
producer on huge scale
They're overwhelmed; supplies soon fail;
Man struggles
but has lost the plot,
Though doctors give it their best shot!
Two years ago,
who would have thought
In this
pandemic we’d be caught?
Rich and poor, retired
or young
More succumb,
their song unsung …
