In Times of distrust 1-6-21 Y
_________________________________________
In times of distrust
when vaccines are not always seen
as the Saviour
when we do not trust
our so-called leaders
when social media
can be anti-social
can be anti-life
________________________________________
In times of distrust
when the only war question?
is only
which country?
When do we go?
And, oh yes,
why
have we not invaded them before?
__________________________________________
In times of distrust
assume all words are heard
all images are seen
all actions are taken down
and the only way to live
is pretend
you are still free
and not
being
noted
