Injection of Affection

Living above ground in invisible coffins condemned to a 6 foot box
COVID stripped us of keys to our freedom holding us captive with no way to pick the locks
Welcome to a zombie apocalypse are dizzy thoughts twirling in my tired head
Halloween is everyday all year as we walk amongst the living dead
I'm on a roll spiraling out of control with a fire lit deep in my soul
I want a hug and it's taking its toll, I want to give one back but these words are the only thing I can offer to console

We all thrive off affection, Want a connection
Uh oh here comes health inspection
Got to force rejection, Out of fear of infection
Need a change of direction
Do I hear an objection?
Stuck at the intersection, Time for a resurrection
Got us on our knees these pins and needles of subjection
Doctor please help whole world needs...
Injection of affection

Wrongful conviction of innocence
I'm a big fan of consistence 
Lord knows I admire your persistence
Please forgive my hesitant insistence 
Don't be disheartened by my resistance
I'll keep reaching for you through any distance

We all thrive off affection, Want a connection
Uh oh here comes health inspection
Got to force rejection, Out of fear of infection
Need a change of direction
Do I hear an objection?
Stuck at the intersection, Time for a resurrection
Got us on our knees these pins and needles of subjection
Doctor please help whole world needs...
Injection of affection

Everything is bursting and tearing at the seams
Now is the time to plant seeds of dreams
Cast away all of our sorrow
Together we can hope for a better tomorrow
Love is greatest gift one could ever obtain
Without love it's difficult to keep from going insane and life's difficult to sustain and maintain

We all thrive off affection, Want a connection
Uh oh here comes health inspection
Got to force rejection, Out of fear of infection
Need a change of direction
Do I hear an objection?
Stuck at the intersection, Time for a resurrection
Got us on our knees these pins and needles of subjection
Doctor please help whole world needs...
Injection of affection

This is a brilliant write, lets hope it is an injection of affection and not poison...
