Covid -19

The air is filled with laughter Children playing happily in the street It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood Parents watching - it's kind of neat Like a scene from It's a Wonderful Life The days of old appear to have returned It looks like we’re all in this together The emotions - for many years we all have yearned Wait - What's that? All the business are closed A lock down - shelter Unchartered waters proposed Social distancing - six feet Essentials - free room to roam Small businesses don't have worry The government printing money as we go Fast food lines are extremely long Ironically, it takes forever to eat Starbucks drive throughs hit record highs Essentials? Interesting, or Is it just me? People flood the grocery stores Like lemmings to a cliff they go Water and toilet paper? Buying up every bottle, and every roll Liquor stores stay open Alcohol does keep us calm and clean It's a depressant and disinfectant Wink wink - I think you see Covid-19 does not create stress and anxiety It reveals our stress and anxiety to a tee It exposes our selfishness We’re more concerned with me - not we Viruses will come and go Like seasons change with time Do we take heed of the situation? Or die before our time?
