From immunization records and now covid vaccine cards,
Pfizer, Moderna, Dr. Fauci – Delta and Omicron.
To wear a mask or not to wear a mask is the political debate,
And then everyone stayed home
everything got closed even mosque or dome
they prayed, and mediated
Crazy COVID-19 has us all in a tizzyToo much information making all of us dizzyMost who’ve been exposed self-quarantineRunning out of toilet paper making us mean“Social distancing” is the phrase du jour
Does wearing a mask make you ill?Are you a social distancing hater?Just imagine how you'll feelBeing put on a ventilator.

I never thought
Our world would stop
Like this, due to covid
Things will become catastrophic
And Nations will be shocked
I never thought
I never thought
I will be locked
Shhh! Can you hear that?
Can you hear the silence?
It's killing you slowly;
Mince to mince.
Look at those people around you,
Suffering the same thing that you do.
They were enjoying peace;
A new urge to resist and our desirable temptation, a world of many complections and complications.
I GOT THE POWER
SO DO YOU
LETS CHANGE THE FATE
AND DESTROY THE COVID HERE
STAYING HOME STAYING SAFE
IS THE SIMPLEST THING WE CAN DO
UNITED WE STAND ; DIVIDED WE FALL
And just like that
The world became quieter
Hearts grew heavier
People's privilege shone a little brighter
And the great big tide
Kindled humanity's desire to be kinder.
People worried
Scared, bored, not knowing.
Death everyday
in every state, in many countries.
What can be positive from all of this terror?
Fresh air
For the Earth to start over.
Social distancing is an oxymoron
Social: needing companionship and therefore best suited to living in communities
Distance: an amount of space between two things or people
The town’s once busy streets
Are filled with silent ghosts
The loud squeals of children playing
Are replaced with lost hopes
So many cry in fear of death
The thought of losing their one last breath
