It was said by writer Graham Greene,
and about him too, that what kept him serene
as he wrote about man's infidelity to man
was that he had a sliver of ice in his heart.
How much ice will we need in our hearts
whilst Covid 19 keeps us all apart
and what science there is that lets us live,
will not also let us us be reunited?
Given the dishonesty
on which society is built
it will be more than we can admit,
that we have always got by through detachment.
