What time is it?
It's almost time to clap for the NHS
What time is it?
It's almost time
To get up and dressed
What time is it?
It's almost time to walk in the park
But don't forget to keep 2 metres apart!
What time is it?
Can we go outside and play?
Only if you must, but keep away from those who don't live with us
And don't listen to what the others say
What time is it?
It's almost time to find out how many are dead
Hurry up and wash your hands twice
And don't forget to sing happy birthday in your head
What time is it?
It's almost time to jump in the shower
But you had better be quick
Before they turn off the power
What time is it?
It's almost time to visit Grandad Joe
He will be so pleased to see ya
Now hurry up and go and log into social media
What time is it?
I've told you a thousand times , how many more?
If you open your eyes you can see
That we are obviously ,Fast approaching 1984 ....

effjayel,
You are so right, Life right now does seem like something out of a science fiction novel.
Unfortunately we are not at the last page of the book that we can turn and be done with it.

I concur Lori, however having so much time to fill I have unearthed facts about this and other events occurring and found thatlike all works of fiction,there is a lot of "poetic licence " being used and abused by the powers that be.  Misdirection and smoke and mirrors are also being widely employed.  I have been popping my head above the parapets and tossing truth bombs out there and no oe in positions of authority and trust are responding.  The silence is in fact deafening. 'Its time to launch plan b and given that May 7th is the 40th anniversary of the Kent state university murders I can think of no better time to up the stakes.I hope you and yours are keeping  safe. Be lucky my friend and take care... J
