Tarry

Now is not the time to tarry,

for even though you are wary,

the world is in a hurry,

and you must keep up.

Although you may be weary,

and circumstances make you teary,

troubles come in a flurry,

it's time to fill your cup.

Fill it with kindness a plenty,

fill it with strength a mighty.

Throw off that cloak of weary,

and take two giant steps up.

For there is no virus stealthy,

that will keep you from being healthy,

when the lines start to get blurry,

make sure to sharpen them up.

Up ahead is a shining reality,

where all are treated with fealty.

Where all will leave behind poverty,

enjoying the bounty they sup.

For the bounty of this earth is great.

We must all share it before it is too late.

Must give all creatures their due.

And do the same for others, if I were you.

Don't try, get busy.

Time's a wasting.

It's a long way ahead,

before we are through.
