I sit here
I look at our society
I see a scared population of people
There is no white or black
This virus will stab us all in the back

My brothers and sisters
We need to bring back humanity
Love now days what a vanity
It’s total insanity

My heart is for the ones who can’t help themselves
The homeless out on the street
Where are they supposed to go
They say self quarantine
How can you self quarantine with no home?

The elderly have lived a long life
Only to be taken out by this man made catastrophe
This isn’t a joke
To you my beautiful people I pray

They say sit back quarantine everything will be ok
I will pray and help to do my best to help all I can
To my fellow workers that still go out day bye day
We are exposed to it all
We won’t quit from dusk to dawn
We don’t ask for anything in return
We are stocking the shelves moving the freight coast to coast
The doctors and the nurses who give all take away from their families to save yours.
Don’t turn up your nose
We Risk it all
With that said, I love you all
I’m in this fight until the curtain falls..
