A Tale of Two Cities
Melbourne: a deserted playground, empty swing
Lockdown resumes, only few people on the streets
And now fear has come flying in on bat-like wing
The virus spreading silently, and without defeats
Leicester: the barriers come down once more
The invisible enemy hidden in plain sight
Beating heart stopped, closed Cathedral door
Lengthening shadows portend the coming night
As of old, plague came, marking some for death
Shining technology cannot defeat an ancient foe
Symptoms of fever, cough, and shortened breath
Dark streets not shining where the sick now go
It was the worst of times, and we prayed at the last
That one day, the best of times, the virus would be past
