Staying home  and everything’s ok 

nothing else to do just sitting  around the house all day and spending time with you .

 

Staying home and not at work with a list of things to  get through , we’re taking it easy all day long like we’re supposed to do .

 

Staying home and watching TV on a perfect day like this ,  not putting ourselves  out there in front of any harm or risk .

 

Sheltered at home from Co Vid 19 avoiding people who might show possible signs or symptoms of something like the flu .

I like that laid back feeling of this poem. Not having to rush around, being able to take your time is just the best.

Something that's bothered me all the time still, how do you stay at home if you don't have a home? It is apparently a crime not to stay at home. Here by us it is, in any case? So?

There are shelters and charities but strictly speaking many are illegal too as a group of more than a hundred people together. As well as in anycase being hopelessly insufficient.

These laws are according to “lockdown” as it is in South-Africa at the moment. Civil unrest is potentially just as great a problem now as the sickness.

Tom thank you for the great comment . Having been homeless for many years and then working with the homeless I understand your point   The first thing I learnt about not having a home was coping with living in a shelter or refuge with all kinds of people . It was not an easy thing to do .

These days we need homes for the brave who are homeless and in danger . As you say the unrest and conflicts will not go away .

I love your statement how can you stay at home if you don't have a home .

Thanks again Tom 

Kind regards

Paul
