A Strange Autumn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually<\/p>\n

When I see the sun, I go out for some fun<\/p>\n

When I see the rain, I stay inside and fill my brain<\/p>\n

When there is thunder, I start using a highlighter<\/p>\n

And when the weather is cloudy, I feel like writing poetry<\/p>\n

When arrives the second lockdown<\/p>\n

We all have a reason to feel down<\/p>\n

But I will lie down on the lawn<\/p>\n

And look at the stars all alone<\/p>\n

Maybe till dawn<\/p>\n

Tough Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the moment Life is hard<\/p>\n

But not so much<\/p>\n

When you are lucky enough<\/p>\n

To have a yard<\/p>\n

Listen to the birds outside your window<\/p>\n

Try not to be overwhelmed by sorrow<\/p>\n

Have a look! Somewhere might appear a rainbow<\/p>\n

Which will lift up your spirits, I know<\/p>\n

One for All and All for One<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are having online courses – To alleviate the work of nurses<\/p>\n

As a community we should be stronger than ever<\/p>\n

But instead of struggling together – It turned out that people don\u2019t care about one another<\/p>\n

While people are dying from that virus every day – Nobody in the streets seems to care today<\/p>\n

All people do is complain about the new sanitary measure – They don\u2019t understand that these rules were not made for pleasure<\/p>\n

But that we need to follow the rules today – If tomorrow we want to be able to say<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic is now behind us! – It is no longer risky to take the bus!<\/p>\n

We survived as a community – We have not let down the elderly<\/p>\n

Nor all the young, and so-called ‘healthy’ – Who could also have died in our country<\/p>\n

We took the matter seriously – And we can, once again, be happy!\u201d<\/p>\n

It is today that efforts should be made – If tomorrow we want this crisis to fade<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every single person in this country has to make a sacrifice – Because as we saw the rules don\u2019t suffice<\/p>\n

Be careful now more than ever – If you want all of this to be over<\/p>\n

If you want to see your favorite festivals again – Please, please now use your brain<\/p>\n

And understand that if today you don\u2019t care – You are going to send your grandma to the intensive care<\/p>\n

Or maybe your asthmatic friend – Or maybe your healthy boy\/girlfriend<\/p>\n

Remember that you are only a human – An ordinary woman or man, not Superman or Wonder Woman<\/p>\n

And that the virus kills as it pleases<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So now do your bit for your neighbor – For your grandparents, your cousins and many more<\/p>\n

\u2018cause who you infect on Monday – Can infect your brother on Friday<\/p>\n

There is nothing magical that will save us – If you continue to let spread the virus<\/p>\n

Half of the population is not enough – To stop this dangerous cough<\/p>\n

If tonight you don\u2019t listen up – If you don\u2019t act as a grown-up<\/p>\n

Please please you all know someone – Who could die from it and maybe not only one<\/p>\n

So wake up immediately – And start acting responsibly<\/p>\n

For no one can resurrect your sister<\/p>\n

When she will have to suffer the consequences of you, DANGER !<\/p>\n
