Smoke and Mirrors

We're All in this Together.

In a twelfth floor flat somewhere in the UK

Sits a young mother and father

With three young children.

He is furloughed from his low payed job

As a Barman.

She is a housewife.

The lift doesn't work

So that takes care of the exercise.

No internet

So that takes care of home schooling.

We're all in this together.

Across the nation

Royalty is secluded in their palaces

Cleaning and home schooling

Is carried out by subjects.

Platitudes are spewed out by

Cameras

They are under lockdown,

So the idea of visiting key workers

Who risk their lives daily.

We are all in this together.

In parliament

Steve Baker warns Bumbling Boris

He will force a leadership challenge

If the lockdown is not removed.

The vulnerable are less important

Than the pub.

This inveterate fool

Thinks he's cool.

As if transmission is not person to person.

We're all in this together.

Over two million have died worldwide, what will it take??
