Hiding

It feels like a movie it feels like a dream 
Locked down and scared I want to scream 
Fear of the doorbell fear of the street 
Fear of the people I once used to meet 
Fear for the loved ones I cannot be near 
Fear of the virus fear of the fear 
War is atrocious but the enemy’s clear 
But the Invisible virus will never appear
It’s in the air it’s on the ground 
On things you touch it’s all around  
it seeks and finds the weak and old 
And suffocates until their cold  
It has no conscience no concerns
It feeds and thrives it lives and learns 
Destroys and ruins breaks and hates 
Silently it decimates 
It Spreads so fast it’s hard to cope 
There is no cure there’s only hope 
It deals in death as it passes by 
No comfort for the ones who die 
Annihilation? is it’s mission
It needs no help or no permission 
A wake of tears and misery 
Is the only trace it leaves to see 
Its pray is helpless and will not know 
Until it’s time for them to go 
Hungry for another soul
It now ramps up The human cull 
Seas and borders no protection 
The world now waits for its infection 
A tiny mist of human breath 
Will make you ill or cause your death 
So hide away beyond detection 
Spare your kisses your affection  
Hide so you may be ok 
And live to fight another day 
Hide so there will always be 
A hope for our humanity
