The choice for some is easy, The risk worth taking To go and pick COVID fruit In a far off land While their home became COVID free.

Economy too strong Companies leaving Jobs are lost, so they Get on planes To risk their life’s to save their families From harderships fast on the rise.

A government made up of army generals, Jokers in the court without an economic clue. Greed feeds mismanagement With little care for the people, Where is the profit in this?

Yes, it’s the same for many the world over, These families live on the poverty line of life. So to have less than a little is nothing at all, It Seems the way in this new world order.

Thank you for reading. J.
