EMPTY STREETS
KEEP SAFE
Empty streets give a dystopian feel
Life stands still, things seem so surreal
Obliged to obey social distancing rules
Those who refuse are condemned as fools
Lock-down creating a new reality
Keeping your distance is now normality
As Covid19 spreads far and wide
What weapons do we have to stem the tide
Scientists strive to create a vaccine
To destroy a virus which can’t be seen
NHS heroes dominate the news
Nurses, doctors, and paramedic crews
Let’s not forget the staff behind the scene
Applause to those who keep our hospitals clean
Carers and drivers also on the front line
Supermarket workers keeping us in line
Politicians must put their squabbles aside
Unite to show respect for those who’ve died
We will win this battle, mankind will survive
Be grateful, and give thanks to be alive
