Pandemic Friends Afraid

Pandemic Friends Afraid By George W. Clever-----27 August 2020 My pandemic friends are afraid Perhaps like me, they are old So vulnerable to die on news are told COVID patients placed in retirement homes Governor Emperors abusing their power. Steal freedoms without control every hour Their retirement plans to travel A cruise, grandchildren visit, escaping the cold By government order all are on hold They huddle in their homes TV media freaking them out Reporting ‘hot’ states no one should go City riots by ‘No Lives Matter’ Bring fear to their hearts Too old to fight too slow to run Wear their mask more for a show Unproven protection a social must Confusing misinformation without trust No hugs from their children Hear phone voices of fear No future of promise this retirement year Have they forgotten God’s promise? What is now never lasts Be not fearful for this too shall pass
