Malignificent
Let us pull ourselves
from deep dark well of fear
and cowardice.
We will be poised
to abandon our
loathsomeness;
prepare to endure
lengthy “lockdowns”;
remote working;
close our businesses down;
and maybe be handed
the awful insult
of being laid off.
We will be forbidden visits
to elderly relatives
in nursing homes.
Unable to see
our sick in the
hospitals;
and in some
cases be borne
with the bad
news of death.
