Covid-19 has rendered many people irrelevant, their skills and services put on long-term hold. The park bench, often reserved for the elderly, is currently shared with considerably younger members of society. All lives must matter!
Running, rushing, scurrying –
Racing through the marathon of life.
Eyeing longingly a park bench,
Its inhabitants seemingly content
To be done with all that strife.
Glaring, dozing, staring,
Heaving yet another sigh …
Sitting rigidly on the bench,
And, yearning to return ...
To the marathon passing by.
