Feeling suffocation grasping around my neck Closed doors and windows I'm watching through the gap
Space is limited and every sound now hurts my brain. Inside I'm screaming this silence has became
new noise
Like falling rain trickling down the window pane.
T.V people are burning my eyes talking of statistics and figures but are they telling lies?
Nothing has changed!
Is it April’s fool again Surprise!
We Now have a new Rule “Lockdown” staying safe, staying alive
But these days are continuing into the night And the world is turning a shade of white.
We are cooking like we’ve never had before Baking breads from books we once classed a chore
These days are becoming increasingly long And the door bell hasn’t sang its usual Ding Dong!
Every tick tock of the clock is like a beating heart counting seconds by the minute by the hour and every moment that has passed Is an empty memory in the past
As we wait until we're asked
This Isolation feels like a plaster cast Beginning to itch under the weight
I pray
This covid virus wont accelerate
And we can make a change to heal, save the world from losing control let us feel we can make a difference and endangered species are not suffering from our wrongs.
For tomorrow isnt here for too long!
