Page 71 - Everyone a Writer Anthology 2021

The day Boris announced,
The world laid still,
It was like a light switch had been flicked off,
Everyone had one phrase swimming in their minds,
Stay home, Stay safe, Protect the NHS,

Days, nights, hours, weeks, months,
Went flying past,
All the time wasted sat on the sofa,
Time with friends flushed away,
Shop supplies running low,
Toilet roll, hand sanitizer, canned food,
Stay at home, stay at home,

Panic going in our heads,
Are my grandparents ok?
No hugs or kisses,
They were the main killers,
Stay safe, stay safe

Many recovered, A Deafening Silence
Many died,
We lost many heroes, People stayed at home,
Including Tom Moore A deafening silence took a hold,
All he wanted to is raise money, Animals taking over the cities,
And walk, And no more people to make the world bold,
Round and round his garden he went,
We will get through this, People stayed at home,
If we stick together, Social media took a hold,
Get these main roads busy again, The NHS working hard,
Let the light come on once again To help us as we go on,

Elsie Cockayne Lockdown,
Woodseats Boris saying NO,
All of his graphs,
And staying at home,

Everything was closed,
Nobody to kill the earth,
So it started to heal,
And many new births,

China,
The smog has cleared,
We can finally see it beauty,
Without a mask needed,

A deafening silence,
COVID 19,
The Earth is mending,
So let it do so.
