Let’s put our hearts and minds to work

The Election time is over,

Some in deep despair Some who think,

they’re ”in clover”.

This is no time to celebrate

Nor mourn your deep losses,

O, politicos of all hues

Remove the cobwebs and the mosses.

People are the ones who grant you power

As does God your life,

You do not assume miraculous power

Because we give you the pen and the knife.

You have no more than a limited term

Before you face us again,

You won’t get back if all you give us

Is anguish, agony and pain.

Shocking disregard for life displayed

With masses gathered to hear you,

No care for care, unmasked all

Despite the contrary being true

Every medical man crying hoarse

To awaken and see the disaster,

To no avail sadly

For, Elections were the Master.

It’s over now so let’s be clear

It’s Covid we need to battle,

No time for revenge, the people only matter

No fairy tales, no tattle.

There’ll be no GDP if there are no people

And, pitiably that will be the situation,

If you let economic numbers weigh you down,

No one understands GDP, not even those who tout it

Carrying banners into town

So, put your thinking caps on

Put guts into your brains,

Declare a national lockdown, save lives

Get only Covid stuff in planes and trains

We are a country great and large

That has seen great tragedy,

1947 for most today is a story only but

Ask me, and I will tell you that history.

We will get over the present times too

But, must do so with open minds and eyes,

If we still believe we’ ve done great job so far

We’re living in the fool’s Paradise.

Stop the bickering in Courts

And, accept the state of unhealthy affairs,

Only then will we be on the right track

To beat the Covid “ despairs’”

Don’t please gloat over the world being with us

They all play their own games,

I guess Man’s the same everywhere

No point taking names.

Let’s declare forthwith

A National Lockdown

Please,

Can we not see even now

Nothing else will ever ease

The tsunami that is hitting us

Let’s catch this last bus,

Time is of the essence , folks

It’s Now, Now, Now.
