hospitals overflow, all are helpless
fear of death enveloping other fears
covid threat challenging our core concepts
looking on, we can but wipe away tears

no cure exists, yet placebos vanish
police force to dispel crowds at chemists
winner takes all; it is fight or perish
feral ferocity today persists

reflections show, what we like not to see
chivalry values, Cinderella dreams
as a collective whole, ugly fury
moment to moment horror stories stream

in midst of this storm, please light a candle
weary souls look to the lighthouse signal

Brilliant poem. A sad subject. We have already been told we'll need another vaccine next year. May God help us.
