Lockdown 2

Written as a response to the UK tier system and local lockdowns in December 2020.


We’re told we’re not doing enough.

Britons should be made of stronger stuff.

Wearing masks and fear on our faces

is only helping the people in high places.

Tis the season to be jolly careful!

Mass testing and a vaccine

given to those deemed worthy.

A written list of those who matter

means front-line workers hopes of safety shatter

Students to go home for the holiday

But you’re in tier 3 – hope that’s okay?
