frenzy of the fray

weary ebbing eyes survey

pervasive state of decay

manic rate of layaway

risks a lifetime of parlay

be careful for what you pray

lest goodness go, badness stay

feel the frenzy of the fray

can this rain wash it away

another weather delay

keep the foul virus at bay

stacks of unsaid to this day

accumulate and hold sway

can we ever really say

all we all hope to convey

open our hearts come what may

feed the frenzy of the fray
