Corona virus 

Corona virus; we cannot trust
Hundreds already have become dust
Millions fought back the death's spell
Conquering corona, now living well

Humans greed for sentient foods
And their craving for luxury goods
Led us to destroy the environment 
Purely, for selfish  enjoyment 

Plastics, vinyls float on the waves
For many trendy items we've become slaves
Austerity is only a political slogan
The way we live today is not paragon 

Spanish flu endemic took many lives
Plaque and swine flu, marked our times
Diseases  pass by some have to die
History will repeat and we shouldn't cry

Show compassion  for our fellow creatures 
Treat well our planet's great many features
Accept the good and bad with equanimity
Be all  blessed with Corona immunity 



Winnie.

Although Winnie did not look elderly
Because she  dressed prim and properly
She was constantly there  on the platform 
Not often though, in the railway uniform 

She treats and greets the big and small
Those who pass through the ticket hall
The children call her Grandma sweetie
But she told me that  her home is empty 

Her husband died at the Falklands  War 
Never  had the children much wished for
Being the only child for a single parent
She became a dutiful railway servant

She should receive a community award
For the long term service as a reward
The commuters agreed, the form was signed
But, the following morning she wasn't seeing 

I knocked hard on the ticket office window 
A different woman opened the front door
She looked pale and without a smile
Told me , softly to wait for a while

People dressed in black and white
Came through the door and led their way out 
They gave me a leaflet, it was an eulogy 
Winnie, I am late, accept my apology!
