Disintegration

We are losing cohesion 
in every aspect of the word

Our strength is declining 
with our thinning of the herd

Self-isolation 
has a price to be paid

This global pandemic 
has left many afraid

Stuck in our homes 
slowly losing our mind

Our economy is crashing 
and we have all been confined

Depression now finds us 
in this new isolation

Life will forever be changed 
across this great nation
