Lockdown

Was on lockdown at work today
Someone angrily quit her job
She was a decent person
Did not lie, cheat or rob
She came to work to earn her pay
Was bullied and abused
And now by the abusers
The innocent stands accused
This whole world has gone crazy
Doesn’t make any sense
It used to be hard work would pay
Now it’s malevolence
