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
