Switch off the light
lossgriefnaturetimemortality
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.
