It Is Now a Crime:
It is now a crime:
To say ‘i love you’
To show affection
To smile
When within 2m of another human
And it seems absurd -
Before, people had forgotten
The world is a scary place
And I am in no position to believe that
Courage Remains
Because when I stare into faces across the path
It seems all hope is lost.
It is not okay to say
True happiness can be obtained
Because no matter what,
Such a Pandemic is truly a horrible thing?
(now read from the bottom up)
