Armageddon

Life has changed we live in fear 
Stay safe take care are all we here  
The lockdown has started but when will it end
Will the system break or will it bend 
Will this world ever be the same 
Who’s to punish who’s to blame
Marshal law is now the rule 
As the virus searches dark and cruel 
Ones you care for and love so much 
Are locked away denied our touch 
The Streets are silent the laughter faded
Our first class lives are now downgraded 
Distances, a thought in constant motion 
Provokes alarm creates emotion 
Relationships suppressed devoid 
Programmed now to swerve avoid 
survival and self preservation 
Cover and Consume our nation 
Armageddon holds its breath 
fills its lungs with every death 
Waiting in the wings of life 
To make its entrance flail its strife
