The Disposable Age, For the Aged

The silence of the morning work bells
contrasts the roar of modified Black Marias
to the old and infirm perilously weakened by the virus
it was the sound
of the start
of the beginning
of the end.

You got the length of this one perfect which is not easy. The sign of a good poet to me. My poetry improved when I adjusted length to suit the subject and message. As to content we are fortunate to have some tough old buggers still left in this part of world who are not easily knocked off their perch. Best regards David in NZ
