COVID is in the air
Run, run to your homes: disappear!
The world is undergoing an epileptic seizure
Deaths and numbers competing without measure.
The viral syndrome is a curse!
A curse? From above? That cannot be alleviated by a nurse…
According to the recommended note, the state of emergency
Restricting freedom, rights and courses for many;
Non victims suffering from hunger
How they cope, I often wonder
Life has not been most fair unto them
Never given the luxury of a diamond or a gem.
News!!! The isolation stories
How to maintain a maximised self hygiene, death record polls that arouse worry…
How my brother begs his neighbour for bread
And will be refused and disgraced feeling dread
How my sister goes to the grocer’s to steal some food
Humiliated, spat on and shamed for doing what she could;
And you are right there in your homes
Living the dream that others can’t in your comfortable foam.
Have you no cause to give thanks?
Appreciation for the things you possess and the extra stored in banks.
I see life now from a different perspective
As I sit on my veranda within the prescribed restrictives.
