The advice is out there everywhere
Pick whatever suits your needs for free
Take no notice should you choose to
Just leave the consequences to me
It’s your right I know I get it
It’s Your choice yourself to please
Leave the worry to the worried
And the consequences to me
You just focus on the here and now
Devil may care - what will be will be
Coz we’re all gonna live forever
Believing “this will never happen to me”
For I understand I have no right to
It’s not my choice to make clearly
When I’m older if I am lucky
Maybe one day I will see
That for you this overriding need
Was your absolute priority
No time for looking back now
It’s just where you had to be
But when it’s over and all Is said and done
We’ll all be wherever we will be
Just keep on whistling past the graveyard
And leave the consequences to me.

This is the third piece in my work inspired by the pandemic. Previously unshared anywhere else before. It speaks of the fear of losing someone because of their risky behaviour.
