WE have been sent this poem by a TCW reader.
It’s only three weeks
To flatten the curve
It’s not much to ask
It’s a small way to serve.
It’s only a mask
To keep us all safe
Why does it matter
If I can’t see your face?
It’s only a protest
And it’s selfish, you see
When expressing your views
Might harm you and me.
It’s only your freedom
It’s not a big deal
Freedom’s an illusion
But the virus is real.
It’s only a vaccine
There’s no need to resist
Your Freedom Pass please
We have to insist.
It’s only one Easter
There’ll be another next year
It’s only one Christmas
The pandemic is here.
It’s only not holding the hand
Of your dying wife
It’s only your liberty
It’s only your life.
