We didn't realize how broken we were
Until they told us to be apart
Alone with only the home we have built.
The hospitals overflowing
Doctors deciding who lives and who dies
Some don't go because they can't afford to
There are those who can't pay rent
And those who can't buy basic necessities
The elderly, immunocompromised, and the poor
Significant others have realized that they love their person,
Or that they simply cannot be in the same room.
Online searches of divorce are rising
There are people who don't listen,
Don't take it too seriously.
Their mistake is killing grandparents.
And yet we still need to make money,
But some have lost their jobs.
And others are making minimum wage to be exposed.
This world is broken,
And the cracks are showing,
In this massive earthquake.
How long will this go on-
Humanity craves social interaction
And we deserve a world that works.
I live in Texas, and there is no way we have enough testing right now.
