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
