Our government should have looked ahead,

Before numerous care-homes became hot spots for the dead.

To 20,000 vulnerable , elderly residents we said a sad goodbye,

Spending their final hours confused and alone to die.

 

N.H.S. hospitals were allowed to discharge untested patients of declining years,

Throwing the care-home residents to the wolves and festering covid fears.

The risk of transmission was intense,

And the fatality of  eldery lives immense.

 

Their Loved ones have been left with distress,pain and aches,

Our government must be honest and own up to their mistakes.
