We Shall Isolate From<br />
The Teachers<br />
Words by Lordy May<br />
Even though large tracts of Victoria and many other Australian<br />
states have fallen or may fall into the grip of coronavirus, and the<br />
odious apparatus of lockdown, we shall stay inside till the end…<br />
We shall isolate at home.<br />
We shall isolate on our screens and iPhones.<br />
We shall isolate and maintain one-point-five metres distance when<br />
in pairs.<br />
We shall defend our State, whatever the economic costs may be.<br />
We shall isolate from the teachers.<br />
We shall isolate from the fines.<br />
We shall isolate and stay off the streets.<br />
We shall isolate at the tills.<br />
We shall never be an offender!<br />
And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this State or<br />
a large part of it were infected with COVID-19, then our health<br />
workers, armed and guarded with PPE, would carry on the struggle<br />
until, in God’s good time, the scientists, with all their knowledge<br />
and expertise, step forth to the rescue and liberate us with a<br />
vaccine.<br />
