I so like walking the dark forest
Happy to see wombats and possums
Foraging in the bush with others
With some shrieking birds in the blossoms
But the worlds's changing it's sad to see
Forests on fire and wildlife failing
Our careless greed affects all of us
Now Covid keeps us scared and wailing
We're worried to share or walk outside
We watch others from our window pane
Nibbling on our last cans of supplies
Faces are scared you can feel the strain
Some are inclined to ignore the threat
Acting as though it won't affect them
Others open their curtains with such fear
Believing it's the start of Bedlam
I recall almond eyed Chinese girl
Reading the news a few weeks ago
Now the disease is spread far and wide
Death count rising and there's more to go

I seriously hope the situation becomes better soon ..
ReplyDeleteIt's been a scary year thus far. I'm a little nervous to see what happens next month!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Rommy. :( :(
DeleteAre you managing to get your food in from the shops?
ReplyDeleteThis has an edge to it, especially that initial image.
ReplyDeleteLife is fragile and we never know what is next!
ReplyDeletewe are now living in scary times...
ReplyDeleteAs dsnake1 said, "we are living in scary times..." and the fear comes in all sorts of shape.
ReplyDeleteStay in and stay safe, Robin. I have been in for a week. Those who are still carrying on are spreading the germs, wish they would stay home too.
ReplyDeleteThis expresses what we all feel and think Are all in lock down over there Take care and look good after yourself
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a surreal time in our lives. Let us pray something positive will come of it, and we relearn the lesson of compassion and loving our fellow man.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a sad situation.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are in the Unknown.
ReplyDeletemore to go.. yes.unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteHang Tight, Robin (you are of an age to remember that Hawaiian greeting. This fits so many of us all over the world. This morning our metro area, Houston, Texas, case count rose overnight to 973, it was in 600's last night.
ReplyDeleteWe have pretty places at both ends of our street, trees, grass all over, walking trails and sidewalks.
A search (Cinco Ranch Walking Trails) showed "With more than 14 trails covering 122 miles..." at our age we can't walk all those from out locked down home.
..
It's a sad situation the world is in. May it be over soon.
ReplyDeleteI have faith that it will soon be over and we mere earthlings will be stronger for it but only if we keep our humanity intact.
ReplyDeleteBe of good cheer!
