I awoke one morning and
everything had changed,
people were told to stay at home
which I found quite strange.
I looked in my cupboards and
found they were bare
while politicians on my television
are warning beware.
The world we had knew
had changed overnight
to be replaced by one
where everyone is uptight.
Afraid to go outside in case
of what they might touch
while a minority believe
these draconian measures too much.
Social gatherings are now
deemed inappropriate
as we all try to follow
a brand new etiquette.
We must keep our distance
from anyone we meet
even if it means crossing
to the other side of the street.
The compulsory use of face masks
might be the next step
even if we are only standing
on our front door step.
People may soon tire of being
told what to do,
they may reach their breaking point
and carry out a coup.

Very well evoked poem for our times. A mass break out impends…
