The Covid Weight Problem

Long before Covid 19 came along
millions in the west were overweight
as freedom of choice made them targets
for advertisers who were selling junk food.

During the inactivity of lock down
many put on weight for doing less
and making to much of their own food
-from scratch, using raw ingredients.

But now the weight problem is worse
as the weight of our expectations
of some new 'normality' don't line up
with the reality of how alive Covid remains.

Now our brains have become dulled
by the fresh weight
of the government's blind optimism
towards their inadequacies.

No wonder an opposition
that is fit to rule come the time
is so hard to find.....
