We all feel down and lonely A pandemic is on the loose It’s called COVID-19 Our leaders seem obtuse Originated in China Took the world by storm Made doomsday a reality Spread like a thunderstrorm This is the world we live in This is our reality A small cough can go a long way Causing a tragedy This is a collapse of society This is a recession The collapse of world markets The new great depression Trapped inside Feel the world’s about to end Terrified Of what will happen next Great divide Among our countrymen Amplified The threat of apocalypse As we stay home in quarantine Contemplating the spread of corona The truth becomes clear to us We are a persona One of greed and cruelty And irresponsibility The environment healing from abuse Ordained for “civility” Life is all about relationships Symbiosis helps both people But in the environment and politics What happened to our principles The have-nots suffer as the haves hoard Some stay home while others don’t Medical doctors fight an uphill battle Our politicians simply won’t Trapped inside Feel the world’s about to end Terrified Of what will happen next Feel defied As we fail to adopt measures Fully supplied In anticipation of the crisis Trapped inside Hoping we win this war Petrified Of the scary possibilities Fortified From the pathogens around Worldwide We will vanquish this disease As things seem to get worse We must remain in our bunker Separate truth from conspiracy Never succumb to divide and conquer When this neo-apocalypse ends We must learn from our mistakes Blaming others won’t fix this We will rise above the stakes
