Covid 19

I dreamt of tomorrow

As I let go of yesterday

But today defeats me

My blood ran cold

As it becomes more

Scary everywhere

No matter where you are

No matter your age

Or where you are from

You feel chased

From what you cannot see

But feel the consequences

Taking all precaution

Not to be a statistic

But still, we never know

Wash your hands sanitize

Practice social distancing

Wear your mask

Yet still, we find ourselves

Trapped in the pandemic

Of this current time

If it hasn't caught you yet

We never know how when who

But surely it caught someone we know

Each day the numbers rise

As if we are playing

The numbers game

Of life and death

Whose next whose next

As we try to shy away

Yet so worrisome

Depression is taking over

As the world pandemic

It is like never before

One world everywhere

One land planet earth

One pandemic the covid 19

Now crippled the world

Economies crash

World of unemployment

It's like a war of survival

But we can't see the killer

Who will win this battle?

A fight that is felt

Not seen nor heard

It sneaks up on you

It attacks your inside

Destroys you at its worst

Some survive many don't

Now trapped in our own homes

We have lost our freedom

To roam the streets as we used to

Many are still not aware

Many take this for granted

How much more must we bare?

How much more life

Must we lose?

To wake up to the reality

Mankind is being destroyed

Right before our eyes

We still don't understand

This pandemic covid 19

The war between

Life and the unknown

Covid 19 as they call it

Is making headway

We must protect ourselves

We must take no chances

Life is too precious

We must win this battle

Together we can

We must each do our part

Don’t be a statistic

Covid 19 the pandemic

Is still very strong

Now we're in 2021

When will this end

Only time will tell

For those who survive
