The Invisible Enemy

The sound of silence all around,
heartbeats quicken every day,
life isn't fair,
some will perish
many will languish
few will be spared.
The invisible is here,
it is now,
and it is real.
There is no running away,
no escape route to take,
all heading into the unknown.
Only time will tell the truth,
suffering will show the cost,
death will be the price...
How many?
How long?
