......
I walked through the streets with caution
Not for the fear of the pandemic but of the curfew
I'd wear my mask to mask my fears
Call me scared but my face mask says otherwise
Who would have thought a single handshake could earn you isolation,
locked up by your modest act of salutation ?
Who would have thought the streets with the busy bees
would be emptied by the words of a man ?
Who would have thought the idle and the busy  
would be sited at their homes ?
Who would have thought the words β€œstay safe”
would really be a safe word for everyone ?
Who would have thought that Safety
could beat chaos for the order of the day
