In Far Too Many Forms We Do Have To Complete (Rondeau Redoublé) Poem by Gert Strydom

In far too many forms things we do have to complete
while the government sees it as only fitting,
to try the deadly Corona virus to defeat,
as if against it all the measures are hitting

and restaurants are not open for a normal sitting,
where there is almost nowhere for a loved one to treat
but people think that for control hairs they are splitting.
In far too many forms things we do have to complete

and some regulations do freedom of choice mistreat,
while other measures people do not follow unwitting
and it seemed exempt is the some of the ruling elite,
while the government sees it as only fitting,

view alcohol and cigarettes almost as death emitting.
Together people cannot gather or anything eat
and no one can be anything spitting,
to try the deadly Corona virus to defeat

and again the government do it's measures repeat,
as if someone will miss of it a tiny thing,
while they close holiday destinations and each retreat,
as if against it all the measures are hitting

and far too many grannies are baby clothes knitting,
while secretly they do children and grandchildren meet
but against being human the state control does sting
and new music and the drums of liberty do not beat.
in far too many forms.
