At the Crossroads of Infinity

Not Another One......

Another key worker has died
Another family  bereft
Another river of tears cried
By those who they left

Another company goes to the wall
Another country edges closer to poverty
Another miscalculation in the rate of fall
No mourners allowed in the cemetery

Another report on the news
Another tragedy unfolds
Another section of society refuse
To do as they are told

Another shortage of PPE
Another dearth of essential food & supplies
Another lack of beds in ICU
Why  are people so surprised?

Another whistle gets blown
Another millionaire complains from his mansion
Another sneaky Mp visiting their second home
They seem to think they are exempt from the sanctions

Another complaint that our civil liberty is under attack
Another picture of a moron stockpiling for gain
Another case of  "I'm all right Jack "
They should hang their heads in shame

Another sound bite for Donald  Trump
Another attempt to win the next vote
Another unpalatable lump
That sticks in your throat

Another day when everybody prays
Another one where so many are struggling to cope
Another plan to end to these tarnished days
Society is beginning to lose all hope

Another day spent in isolated retreat
Another day  the World spent on its knees
Another day the science is beat
Will we ever beat this disease?

Not another day wasted  finger pointing at the Chinese
Or opposing Mps and experts on TV at each others throat
When  the one single thing on which everyone agrees
We  need an antidote  .....
