Sounding the Alert
And so we all find ourselves waiting
On the edge of our still locked down seats
For our PM to bring forth his update
On how we’ll return to the streets
Whatever confusion he brings us
However unclear are his words
We know that we’ll have a new slogan
To magically safeguard our herd
Staying Alert ‘stead of Staying at home
Seems reckless in any extreme
And Taking Control of the virus? Absurd.
I’m disturbed at how crazy that seems
And so while the government dither
And the media brief in their stead
The public continue to make their own rules
And the virus continues to spread.
