In Covid Times

Of the neglect of the elderly stories written and told
In these times of covid it is not a good time to be old
In a nursing home with your room locked every day
That is quite under staffed and for it's workers poor take home pay
Stories of aged people neglect nowadays are not rare
These are the people the Government does fail in their duty of care
In nursing homes so many people of covid have died
This is not a cause for any National or community pride
People who worked hard when they were young
And sadly their praises have never been sung
On the physical decline and in their life's Fall
Their names will never appear on a memorial wall
In their nursing home rooms that are locked day and night
There is something about this that does not seem right.
