A Contagious Commentary of Closure

It’s another day here 
Without much to cheer 
Are we negotiating with this invisible threat? 
Who got what it wanted to get 
If this is God’s will it’s pretty bold 
Challenging humanity wondering if it’s ready to fold
Watching the global world all of a sudden packing up saying cease 
With a situation that could create warfare or the decision to put on a display that is peace 
As we serve our last supper 
Honoring a legendary figure who was reported later to have suffered 
Let us be reminded the Friday that was good has arrived 
Leaving a torturous image where one looks to the sky 
Interpreting the message, “why God why” 
But the calendar date change during the late hour 
After quiet reflections blooms like a spring flower 
Confronting and acknowledging the pain 
Where we read the script, “Who are we to complain” 
Even know we are forced to be in our house arrest prison 
We know in the end the truth will be risen 
Then we will go forth 
In what we find to be important and worth 
Maybe it was a prom night on the town 
That was cancelled due to the virus going down 
It could be replaced 
By a smile on a face 
A group mates 
Going out on romantic dates 
If it is the wedding bliss that will be miss 
Think about this as a loving kiss 
For a starter 
Set two dates with your life long partner 
One being the anniversary that should have been 
And the other one when this international sickness surrendered allowing your vows to win 
This stay at home thing will pass 
While life will have more strength and a full tank of gas
