terminal - all change 

when they come within their plastic suits

  and their gloves and masks and their gain spray

that they are safe against this viral brute

  we are told (simply) ‘wash your hands’ and pray

  

more often than not

   the religious leaders pray Skype 

for they have too lost the plot

  and have fallen for the hype

that this virus is sent from hell

  and surely never was it heaven sent

but still this coronavirus’s deadly spell

  says your time on earth was always lent

so time to stand aside now and say

  little molecule have your wicked way

let the wee beasties inherit the crown

  man’s days are over 

           we are standing down
