Post lockdown

By Dawn Ashwell

Two years of lockdowns and we thought we’d now be free.
No, no, no says the petrol, gas and electricity.

The government doesn’t care and that’s a fact.
You will work, work and work and pay loads of tax

Two years of lockdowns and dying to be free
Now we’re out, they’re just taking all our money you see

Lockdown kept us silent and treated us like slaves
Now they’re taking all of our money, even though most of us

behaved….


Dawn Ashwell.
