I Am Now Done And Finished Poem by Gert Strydom

I Am Now Done And Finished



Against the lock-down and a virus I am worn-out,
also to the many compelled examinations,
the government that do curtail and keeps on admonishing,
from disinfecting, soap and drying clothes,

the writing of your name in different books,
to continually everywhere wait in long lines,
for people's tempers, their aggression and curses.
Against the lock-down and a virus I am worn-out

and totally upside-down life does now continue,
while the government exercise control from all directions
and others believe that all of this will pass,
also to the many compelled examinations.

Some people view others as spineless cowards,
as if much better they do comprehend the restrictions and the virus
and others buy all kinds of sweets and cakes.
The government that do curtail and keeps on admonishing,

do far too little where all of humanity is perishing,
receive for more monetary relieve a multitude of applications
and people want to run away as fast as they can,
from disinfecting, soap and drying clothes,

and want to flee to the outposts of the world,
to where they do not stand out among others,
away from new regulations and more law-books.
I am opposed to control and a futuristic existence,
against the lock-down.
