A View Of Hope Since Coronavirus: COVID 19, Had disseminated throughout our world, We safeguarded ourselves through quarantine, With worn face masks, rubber gloves kept all furled. It preoccupies our society, I control my time by being engaged, 31 times 2, this 2020, In contemplation on how I have aged. The retirement age, not 60 plus 5, Not anymore, just a tad bit longer, If social security will survive, Let us expect that it will get stronger. Hope for a cure so things do not get worse, Then a sonnet it is, and not free verse.
