Sniper

 Sniper


This Covid’s a sniper

Picking us off

When least we expect it

When dropping our guard. 

He’s dropping the shoppers

Like in Sarajevo

He’s wounding the youngsters

As in the Arena

He doesn’t give tuppence

For your thoughts or your  prayers,

He’ll trip you without pity

As you’re heading downstairs. 

Whether gentle or evil

He doesn’t distinguish

Heartless and cruel

He’ll fight to the finish

Just let down your guard 

And you’ll be certainly punished. 

You’ve changed now you tell me

But sadly not he

More vicious than ever

Where once taking two

He’s now taking three

A stake in his heart

To make sure he’s dead

Then we can exit to sun,

And party instead.
