Blood On the Wall

Here we are again Losing our loved ones It's raining harshly in our city COVID -19 ruining our homes And tears rolling off the window pane Silent screams! Different voices playing in our heads News is heartbroken and soul-wrenching The streets of Monrovia are helter-skelter Mama voice penetrates our ceiling with deep emotions Stay home! Stay home Handshakes are avoided Sadly, our elbows or feet are meant to show gratitude Through our rise and fall They have been our only friends But night has befallen before us And sadness sleeps on our faces We are losing our grounds Innocent sheep falling to the red earth Siblings soak into absolute agony Touch one touch all is not our religion any longer BBC breaks our hearts into pieces on a daily basis Sleepless nights! Good news has stepped out for days, And COVID-19 is the devil in fine linen
