Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Too Little Too Late

Where are they all coming from
Where are they all going to
Why do they need to travel
What do they all need to do

Finally, ten months too late  
New rules coming in to place
To stop importing new strains
New laws travellers now face

If your country is on the list
It's ten days in a covid hotel
If you lie and break these new rules
It's ten years in a prison cell

From one extreme to another
This plan is open for debate
A few years from now we'll find out 
Will it prove too little too late

Julie,

You are fast becoming a sage. Your poem speaks of the present and its consequences for the future, a future which is to some large extent a mystery.
Thanks
Keith
