Wounded Forever

simple rustic fellows come to cities --to make a fortune;
pandemic leaves them jobless suddenly--no security!
walk back home scores of miles --wounded in feet and heart, forever.

It is so very sad what the governments did to us during this pandemic. I truly believe it should have been handled like any flu. Immunity would have come with time. I sure enjoyed your writing.
