CELIA'S POEMS

No 368          March 17

I know I keep on saying this,

But we’ve been through a war,

No-one went away to fight,

As they had to do before.

But this time we were all involved,

The whole of the human race,

All through a ruddy virus,

That we couldn’t seem to trace,

Unfortunately there was a likeness,

It did take many lives,

At one time it was rampant,

Trying to see no-one survives.

We’ve all been victims of the war,

Young, old, and even little ones,

We’ve been locked down for many weeks,

And just had to take what comes.

The shops were closed, we all wore masks,

But then we got instructions,

At last they’d hopefully found a cure,

We all went for injections.

No-one will want my opinion,

But I’ll give it anyway,

The front liners should get a medal,

They’ve all worked night and day.

They came out of this battle weary,

They’d pulled us through this mess,

They need some recognition,

You’re all with me I guess.

Heroes of the last 2 wars,

Were all given recognition,

If we don’t reward our heroes,

We should never be forgiven.
