Few Believe

The numbers spike ever higher
  Tiny sparks now raging fires
The unseen killer makes his rounds
  Headaches throb, chests pound

Streets deserted, sidewalks too
  I wear a mask at home with you
A nation's nightmare, no end in sight
  Few believe it'll be alright

- Congratulations on yuor p.o.t.d., Gershon :) - We do not use mask ... although this is very scary ... or as you describe it as a dark nightmare ... there will always be viruses in the air ... clean hands and distance ... are you sick, stay home ... life must go on ... - (*I don't think Jesus or the Devil has created this ) - // Anne-Lise :)

As the year 2019 ended, I never imagined this would be how I would spend the year 2020. How all of the World would spend these moments. Masked and trying to stay safe- from a virus. I know, when the time is right- "it'll be alright" Congratulations Gershon, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. ~ Brandy
