Covid-19
Someone please show us the way.
Watching this virus spread like a wild fire.
Watch the politicians argue & bicker over
Personal desires
While more and more peoples lives expire.
More & more each day, watch the ventilators
Breathe their last breath of air
Watch the people, who never believe,
Continue to not care.
And the ignorant souls spit on food – and
Essential items for internet views.
Watch the people perish on
Without being able to have a funeral
And a life that was once beautiful
Basically get flushed inside a urinal.
Watch the nurses & doctors work like magicians
Saving each person one by one
Risking the lives of their husbands, wives
Parents and young.
Today is Wednesday, I think
I don’t even remember, I mean
Look at what this virus has done.
Families not knowing where
Their next meal will arrive,
And us humans walking around with masks
& gloves with the belief
It will keep us alive.
News reporters telling us we can’t go outside.
We are skipping Easter this year,
We will be skipping birthdays as well
Never know the next time I can give
My family a hug and only time will tell.
Social distancing the best way I know how,
Praying this virus just slow down
& eventually just go away,
I don’t know when it will
I couldn’t tell you the time or day
But someone please show us the way.
