Covid Locked Out: Forbidden Final Farewell Poem by Terence George Craddock

families were prohibited
from visiting dying relatives
in lock down rest homes

in public hospitals during lockdown
when a simple issue of PPE gear
would have safely allowed this

not only could suffering grieving
immediate family relatives not
say goodbye to dying close family

they were also prohibited
from attending funerals
respect grief final farewells

even under more humane
new level 2 Covid lockdown
my aunt had a choice of 5

of 15 close family members
at my Uncle Joe's funeral locked
out of final farewell despicable...
