Social distancing
Dont come into my space, make sure you leave some room, at least be at arms length, when you hold a broom
You can shout across the road, leave messages on my phone but please dont come to visit, I'm living on my own.
Yes we all miss the cuddles, miss a friendly hug, but you cant come and see me, dont show your ugly mug
The Virus running rampant, but some people are still with friends, until they stay on lockdown, the virus will not end.
People dying all alone, scared with no reassuring support, but idiots take no notice, they have no second thought.
What has to happen, before the idiots clearly see, must they lose a loved one, or have the country on its knees
Stay safe, stay indoors, it's not that hard to do, everyone responsible and that means even you
The quicker the world stays indoors, the sooner this Virus war is won, people tell your children, your daughters and your sons
Practice social distancing, nod instead of shaking hands, cancel all engagements, dont have no party plans
Just find yourself a comfy spot and watch the world go by, everybody hates it, we could all just sit and cry.
But it's better to not see your family and friends, though it is a lot if strife, but missing them for a few weeks might just save a life.
One day it will be over, you can share the hugs you've saved, better to hug them later, than to put flowers on a grave.

And I couldn't agree more.
Very nice poem... It's sad that many people are just defying the orders Coz they think that they won't be affected by covid 19. True, that the virus won't kill them but they forget that they can spread it to others who are vulnerable to this disease and those idiots can /are the cause of others' death. We need to remember that it's not always about Us or Ourselves. We should learn to care about others too.

Thank you for such a great comment. Sadly man only cares about himself and pays little regard to others
