Lockdown

During this pandemic,

We are all going stir crazy

Locked indoors like criminals

Staring at those same god-damn walls.

I am talking to those four walls,

Awaiting a reply.

I wonder if I bounce on them

Would they even let out a sigh?

Thinking about all those lives that have been lost,

Thousands of lives, and for what cost?

Is this a plague from the higher man himself?

or was it a lab test that somehow escaped the shelves.

We will never know the truth,

This won’t be exposed!

We just need to support each other

And try the best we can, I suppose?

Now having my children home,

It has been a treat.

But how many times can I listen to

YouTube on repeat!

My son is into fortnite,

But shouts to his friends

And sometimes at 7am,

This drives me around the bend!

I know I don’t have that much stress

Compared to those on bed rest

But I wish there was more I could do

But this is unfamiliar, I don’t have a clue!

I hope the toll, slows itself down

I hope Boris recovers fast

And the queen still wears a crown.

I hope that all of you reading this are well.

And I hope this ends soon or I’ll be sent to hell.
