The Unlocking

The unlocking is now happening
No one knows who is in control
Everyone is told to be self-reliant
Which means no one has any role

Shops are being allowed to open
With no transport to help reach
Classrooms are being made ready
With no students in sight to teach

Lawyers are also told to prepare
To read advisories, listings to see
Which many find quite improper
Without provisions for a proper fee

By maintaining strict distancing
Real appearances will be tough
Authorities say normalcy is back
But are mere assurances enough?

The adversarial litigation system
Has long entertained the Nation
But it cannot provide a guarantee
There won’t be any contamination!

So the choice is really no choice
You might either wish to try or defy
Stay safe at home and risk starving
Or get back into the saddle and die …
