Care

These are hard times but we need to be strong,
Don’t only care about who’s right or wrong,
Care that you have a cosy warm bed,
Care that people are sick and some even dead,
Be grateful for washing your hands with clean water,
Be grateful you’re not a lamb sent to the slaughter,
That doctors are trying to find a vaccine,
so, it can cure this COVID-19,
Help them by making face shields and masks,
If you don’t know how don’t just stand there, go ask!
