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
