The world has shut down
folks on foreign ground,
are advised shelter in place.
And based on the news,
you should not refuse;
so stay at home just in case.
It sounds overblown
quarantined alone,
without work or chance of pay.
But it must be done
or war won't be won,
distancing's the only way.
Only together
can the world weather
the cost breakouts justify.
An epidemic
now a pandemic;
has doomed so many to die.
Older folks need care
stay home, do your share,
no one's been through this before.
Using every means
the world seeks vaccines;
let's pray that the deaths don't soar.
