I’ve been walking around in a rage.
And not because of my age,
or because the dog peed
On the bedroom floor.
There’s more, much more.
Covid still stalks us.
Presidents play chicken.
Ukraine is a pawn
as the grim plot thickens.
Come what may;
No matter what they say;
Walls can’t keep the world at bay.

Besides the sentiment of the poem (which resonates), I love the meter and rhyming/sounding (stalks with pawn…nice). And the last line is killer. Verse on, Harry!
