Essentials Only
A phantom virus, tentacles open free
with perpetual license to kill and kill.
Sentenced to death on lonely beds,
an imprisoned world standing still.
Fearful eyes over mask covered faces
plead to get back to the "normal" days.
All number graphs on TV news channels
are dearest names who've lost their gaze.
A wake -up call to sanitize your lives
how much is really "enough", you think?
Haven't we taken our lives for granted?
Nature's ecology, pushing to the brink.
Slow down humans, you're close to edge,
Let's create a new world of living together.
Essentials only, let's keep to ourselves.
or lose everything...one by one wither.
