I always will.

I always will.

Switch off the light

Close the door

Turn the key

Walk away

There will be no

Going back

To sit in fear

Waiting for judgement

As the clock ticks

In time to the ventilator

Every ragged breath

A lifetime of grief

It is only humane

To pull the plug

On hope

When there is none

Just the trickle

Of money running

Down the drain

Go on say it again

Save your dollars

For a rainy day

Let Covid 19

Take you dependents

Away

Before you go broke

It is no joke

He was heard to say

It in a speech

He gave

To well heeled folk.

Wait until you are old

Mr Abbott

I wonder

If then

You will be quite so bold

When your

Pragmatic kids

Put you out

In the cold

With their own

Perversion

Of an extinction

Rebellion.
