Time has swiftly passed us by,
a year seems like a day.
Months have vanished in the sky,
weeks are marching away.
Time has left us in a bind,
marooned in a lifeless past.
Each of us is left behind,
with many unfinished tasks.
Our earnings are depleted,
our businesses destroyed.
Our meticulous plans defeated,
we are unemployed.
Loved ones at home we have not met,
our families we have not seen.
We cannot visit them as yet,
stranded we have been.
Time has left us so uncertain,
we do not have a clue.
Before us stands a daunting mountain,
of things that we wish to do,
Time has moved on to better times,
it has left us high and dry.
We face a mountain we cannot climb,
no one hears our cry.
"Left behind"
