Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

The Game

So many distractions
my mind runs
one way then the next
not sure what to believe
who would deceive
in order to achieve
news seems all the same
kind of got lame
all you hear is blame
what a crying shame
is it now all called a game.

Lindsay Laurie August 8, 2020 at 8:23 PM Hello Phyllis ... with this virus returning savagely in Melbourne, the blame game is booming, but nobody is suggesting a solution - we are safe at this stage where we live, but the restrictions for visitors are strong - thank you Phyllis; stay safe - Lindsay
