Pouring over the news, wondering what’s been said
Anxious for the future, full of prospects to dread
No one knows a true cure, or the right way ahead
Death itself is at the door, though others scoff instead
Economic turmoil, idols on their death bed
Money, not for the poor, will they find daily bread
In all this and still more, hold fast to what you have read
Christ indeed reigns as Lord, and alive from the dead
Poetry contests and movie nights
Awareness of a world facing plight
Not leaving home is how we can fight
Doing what we know to do is right
Each day they ask how long will it last
Making the most as each day goes fast
Indoors even outdoors in the grass
Children coping until this is past
