If Truth Be Told
What social distance, at sunrise?
Cheek by jowl,no surprise
No greedy cops yet on patrol
Throwing awry, infection control
Elsewhere the experts crunch the numbers
As the hungry nation slumbers
A hundred deaths amid too many feelings
Negative test results for three thousand shillings
What is true, what is false, we know not
Which book have we sought?
Wisdom, the beginning of all understanding, real
Makes conventional thinking surreal
