Margins




Margins

Who is the outcast, left outside?
Self-isolating, shielding, all apart
The fear that causes them to hide
The beating of a lonely heart

Who is the outcast, left outside?
The virus stops them working now
Lost jobs, lost hope, without a guide
Struggling on with life somehow

Who is the outcast, left outside?
Mourning apart, and tears alone
No one there when loved one died
All they can do is weep and groan

On the margins: what is good news?
And how can we speak to those sad views?
