Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Fear Not, My Friend

As the sun sets on a teeter-tauter week
  Prospects may seem dauntingly bleak
Millions upon millions out of work
  The ubiquitous virus wears a smirk

Consternation, frustration
  both reign supreme
A deeply divided nation
  dares not dream

Fear not, my friend
  For in heaven the course is set
We know not what the tide brings
  Fish trapped in a wider net
