Poem -
WE SHALL OVERCOME (MY 2020 VERSION)
He sang three words back in nineteen sixty-three
We could really do with them now as far as I can see
These three words are powerful there is no doubt
We shall overcome is what I am writing about
A folk singer sang them to fight a worthy cause
Could be used today with viruses and wars
We shall overcome dear friend I am certain
However we all must live behind a closed curtain
Staying indoors is the only thing we can do
Respect the doctors in white and nurses in blue
Clap for them as they are on our front line
As we all hope the world again turns out fine
We shall overcome this let's all be strong
Be positive together and prove this virus wrong
