With Covid playing havoc everywhere the only thoughts that come to mind are about the death and the dying

Far End of the town

One can’t get up

Just walk away

As life after life

Keeps quitting its fight

Many more on the verge to lose

Many more fighting to survive

Hapless dear ones

Scurrying everywhere

In search of elusive hospital bed

Hospitals tired yet trying to cope

Flood of sick desperate for hope

But won’t talk about the far end of town

Where fires keep burning day and night
