Living In a Pandemic
When the sound of silence, wails
And sobs of crying deafens our fearful minds
Our streets are cold and empty
And there’s no one to be found
Only the shuffling of City workers
As they clean a ghostly town
Storms are silently raging
Uncertainties abound
My soul is contemplating
Disaster is all around
Eyes steering out at the invisible
Imagining faces they once knew
Smiles gaged to breathless
As death takes our point of view
A virus not only taking bodies
But our laughter and our joy
In dire need of a savior
We pull a vaccine from the clouds
Ending are here…
Everything is changing fast
Life is not the same
In this New World Order
Vaccination is not a game
If you don’t conform
In darkness, you’ll remain
Someone turned off the sun
And left us in the rain
Storms are silently raging
Uncertainties abound
My soul is contemplating…
The misery life’s become
Everything is changing
Nothing is the same
May the forces protect you
In this viral age
