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...

I'm reluctant to call it brilliant but thanks for the kind words, S1 & yes, let's hope not
