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
