The Curve

Mitigate to stagnate
What have we become
Fear for fear's sake 
Are we protected in our cocoon 
We are isolated 
Do we hear the voices of the dead
Do we mourn in isolation 
All die alone
No loved ones near
Just sterile isolation
The cry of the soul is blocked by the hum of machines 
What have we become 
What have we lost 
Curves and daily numbers of the dead
No humanity 
Faceless in isolation 
Just a number for the daily briefing
