Of Virtues And Viruses

I tried to believe in simpler living
long before it became the fashion
when austerity brought on
yet another recession.

But how rich people lived
amid Covid 19 outdid me.

I felt outdone again when so many people
pretended to be normal because they thought
too soon that Covid 19 'was all over',
at least where they were....

I don't believe them, I still feel sure
that like the virtue of simplicity
Covid 19 is going to outlive me,
and I will be long forgotten.....
