Poem 54: One Week

So what have you been doing in the past week?

How long before this Corona Virus reaches its peak?

Are you still sticking close to your home?

Or are you the rebel and just choose to roam?

I myself am heeding to this  proclaimed warning

Only walking the dog when I get up in the morning

The city is quiet and the traffic is light

Glance down the blocks and there is no one in sight

I do this task each and every day

I avoid what few people I meet on the way

Once I return home, that is where I choose to stay

I haven’t any urges that make me want to stray

Does anybody know how long this will endure?

No one anywhere has even come close to the cure

The businesses are closing and the economy is taking a dump

The future of North America is in the hands of Donald Trump

The death tolls are rising and big cities are shutting down

Then you have to listen to the stupidity of this pumpkin coloured clown

New York City is in dire straits with so many people infected

Then you see this President sitting there and he doesn’t seem to be affected

Every State in the union is trying to save the people out there

While this so called Commander In Chief doesn’t seem to care

“We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem” is what he tweeted Sunday night

He is more concerned about the economy than the Pandemic he has to fight

Once again his own welfare is what’s driving his need

If no one is working, how will he succeed?

There must be a lot of vacancies in these Trump properties that he owns

That’s why is trying to say this virus is being overblown

I would say if this continues, he stands to lose quite a bit

Something that he and his family will never admit

He wants the churches filled up at Easter for everyone

If all these cancellations continue, how long before his assets are done?

Bankruptcy is nothing new to him, he’s been there before                                   

With his new reputation, who would lend him some more?

I’m sure with each passing day, it keeps adding to the cost

Who knows how many of his millions will end up being lost

It will be months before we even begin to recover

Who knows how many things they will find or discover

In the meantime we will try to be patient and weather the storm

In hopes that we will eventually get back to our norm

The government has promised to help those most affected by this blight

I hope they honour their promise and most things turn out alright

So many small businesses will be lost as a result

But big companies will be bailed out, it’s such an insult

So many people affected by this disease

Yet the rich are still able to do what they please

I only hope at the end of it all

That Trump and his empire end up taking the fall

The result of him not caring about this potent germ

He runs out of cash before he finishes his term

Then they finally get into his books and he gets convicted

The rest of the family having no place to go because they are evicted

For the rest of us who are stretched to the max and have little money for spending

The only thing I have to offer you was this happy ending
