History Making
United States on lockdown.
It's no longer safe to go out.
There's a new enemy attacking.
It's going to be deadly, no doubt.
Millions will be affected.
Thousands won't make it through.
All humanity is in danger.
The next victim could possibly be you.
A pandemic unlike any other.
All of the headlines read.
Top leaders are issuing warnings.
That all human beings should heed.
Life as we knew it is over.
Rules help to keep us alive.
Videos are starting to surface.
That are showing the fight to survive.
A war very different from the others.
The whole world is fighting to be free.
New soldiers of a different uniform.
Fight an enemy that noone can see.
Those in the medical community.
We all owe our lives to you.
From the bottom of my heart I say Thank You.
For doing everything that you do
Daily news reports the death toll.
Numbers like we've never seen.
Future students will find in textbooks.
The pandemic called CoVid 19.
