The Numbland

The end is near
Virus is here
One hundred and eighty thousand
Dead, poor dear

Pack your bags
Your coats and shoes
We're going to the land
Of endless blues

There is peace from being numb
After you've lived there awhile
The cold bad news leaves your fingers numb
But after a while you seem to forget
And everyone there stops giving a sweat

Thank you. I believe out of all my poems this is probably the one I am most proud of.
