March

 March

March has come

We must march on

Down the road

Til Covid’s gone. 

Next month will see

The plague upon its knees

April will deliver 

A tiny victory. 

When May has come 

The battle’s won 

Over halfway there

With jabs to spare. 

June will see 

The enemy in flight

So only three months more 

To keep defenses tight. 

In the meantime light will enter

The tunnel we all spoke of

Just three small months to wait

Deliverance that we hope for. 

All of us in this together 

No matter what they say

We’ll exit into daylight 

Not forgetting any brother 

No sister left by curb side 

No stranger left behind 

In the first or the third world

Together we are bound. 

We’ve got this chance 

To stand as one 

One human race 

To travel on. 

And so March

Is but the start

Of a common journey

We complete as one.
