Locked Up, Locked Down

Lockdowns in great vogue, wondered aloud A jail bird on ‘me’ and ‘all this crowd’: I am in a lock up, For, spilled I’ve someone’s cup Of joy, what fault them rest face dark cloud? ____________________________________ Happenings |02.04.2021| Topic: humour Poet’s note: Locked up or locked down, what is the difference? Nothing, if I may, at the core. But if a jail bird is under a lock up, he is being punished for some offence. What about the people at large if locked down on account of a pandemic? One might wonder. Man indeed lives in an unfair world.

Thanks dear poet, for what fault they..., yet, someone told me, we mortals can't see the larger, whole picture, destinies work in subtle ways.
