Lines Form in the Underworld.
It’s a sinking kind of sadness,
Times been cut short,
Some stand by this madness,
Malpractice is now its own sport.
We could have been saved,

We climbed the second wave,
One hundred and thirty thousand graves.

Trials have been successful,
The vaccine will end our plight,
The year of lockdowns has been stressful.
Variants engulf the world,
A fourth wave stands above us,
Lines form in the underworld,
We’re told hindsight while we fuss.

My lungs still not up to capacity,
Breathing problems resemble the Sphinx.

Will it actually happen?
Half the glass ceiling will be smashing,
The donkey stands clapping,
Social distanced lights will be flashing.

Take care of your sister,
You were just sad she wasn’t a mister,
Treating her like a boy,
Calling her names and sapping her joy.
