Lockdown 2020

First off, i would like to get out, that I'm far from a poet, yet i have so very much to say, 
There it is again, a heavy load circulating around my mind, my heart is yelling out so very loudly, yet proudly, i must express my emotions out this way, 
How do i put down in words, how unstable lockdown 2020 has affected me, i can not understand this bizarre behaviour myself, 
I crave for you to reach deeply inside my mind, so that you could see, 
A dull feeling inside, a soul destroyer, no where to hide,
The most lonely place, 
No one who truly understands, as you can see within their tearful face,
If only i could inspire the devil, to uncast his wicked spell, 
And to instead embrace humanity, with love, peace and for all to be well,
Like how do you tell you sweet innocent babies, that time has changed for the worse,
That the devil is sadly upon us showering us all with his curse, 
How do we live life now, 
Living in tremendous fear,
 The unfortunate outbreak of this virus,
That has gotten far to near, 
Well life goes on, but what do we do,
Prey and hope so very hard,
Big love to all of you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
