‘Freedom’
The birds fly free
With joyous swoops
Diving to fish
On the glassy lake
En masses they came
The wild ducks today
The swans and pelicans too
No social distancing
To hold them at bay
Alas, we humans
In this Covid time
Held captive are we
In home detention
Our freedom gone
To mingle and play
In fearful obedience
To our invisible jailor
The freedom we took
So much for granted
Now longed for
Like never before
