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
Among mankind's best—Brave, courageousHeroes who do no harmAssuaging our fearWith fellow feeling and careAmidst viral strains' stealthy swarm.Among mankind's worst—
Does wearing a mask make you ill?Are you a social distancing hater?Just imagine how you'll feelBeing put on a ventilator.

if any of you have the Corona Disease !”
In A Time Where Zones...
Across The Globe Are... “CLOSED”... !!!
To AVOID Being... Bro ken... !!!
I Think That It’s Wise To Keep Our Minds OPEN... !!!
My wife and I both worked at a video game store.They closed and we're not working there anymore.They closed their doors because of this damn Coronavirus.We're unemployed and no other businesses are willing to hire us.
The year is half over, today is the 30th of June.The first half of this year went by pretty soon.In just a few days, we'll celebrate the 4th of July.Firecrackers will pop and bottle rockets will soar into the sky.

...... “ PLANNED-demic’ ?!? “......
Like everyone she too had a dream of her own
A dream not something impossible to achieve
A dream for which she dared even the deadliest virus
Working days and nights doing what she loved
So These Sheople People...
Keep Proving They’re FEEBLE...
Doing This And Doing THAT...
Like... "Mice In A Trap"... !!!
A vision where things seemed to be clear
Where people were excited for the year
All was starting to look super swell
Until we saw his helicopter fell
This year already has not been aspired amongst us

Where This Corona Disease...

I wear my mask not for me, but for you
For your children
For your parents and grandparents
With their cancer, heart disease, and asthma
I fear for their lives
The sickness is brutal
I can’t breathe.
It’s choking me -- suffocating me.
But I just let it.
All the air sucked from my lungs.
But I endure.
So What’s Happened To The CHATTER... ?
About... Black Lives Matter... ?!?
DON'T They Matter NOW ...

I saw the sun rise from beneath the ground,And bring a time of sunshine and cheer around,When children played around and the nature danced to its own beat,When birds sung their melodies and butterflies came to greet,

The future is mine.
With the present stress,
I promise it will be fine,
In the future I see success.
Now is the time to start,
It's a sort of aching
We share.
Questions of
Our mortality
Blow in the wind,
Behind our windowpanes.
Windowpanes that have become our spectacles as
We observe
What we cannot change
My Fellow Writers... PLEASE...
... Hear Out My PLEA... !!!!!!!!
Everything You Now Write Doesn’t Have To Be...
Designed In Line With Corona Themes... !!!
One day we'll look back and remember this period
Like Elvis, 9/11, Princess Di and a myriad
of other life changing times as historians will document
War, pandemics, bills and oth'r events
It Seems That We’ve Now Found An Issue That... " SURROUNDS "... !!!
The Question I Have‘s ... " So What’s Fake Now ? "...
These rhymes I spit
Remind me of times I cannot forget
When people are on the streets crying cause their families are home dying
And government lies and trials and tribulations we can not forgive
These rhymes I spit
Remind me of times I cannot forget
When people are on the streets crying cause their families are home dying
And government lies and trials and tribulations we can not forgive
We are not heroes.
We are just people,
trying to survive.
You and I,
are not equals.
You work from home
while I...
I work to ensure
that I get to keep mine.
Okay So Now They Say That It’s NOT 5G... !!!
That’s Part of The Spread of This Corona Disease... ?!?
So Who Exactly …
Are We Supposed To Believe... ?
The Likes of... David Icke... !?!
Hi Friend,Or, uh. . .
Maybe friend.
I only say
Maybe
Because it has been
52 days since I saw
You last.
WE are the priveledged ones,
taking these deaths as our time to have fun.
WE are not affected and WE cannot be told what to do,
as the rest of the world stands silent and blue.
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.
I Really Think ...
That What’s Happening ...
Can Bring Good Things... !!!
Like MORE Thinking And LESS HATING... !!!
Because In These Days Why Would You Embrace...
Ideas of Race Hate When You Are Forced To...
Okay Okay ...
So It’s Time For A Change ...
And A System Upgrade ...
ALL Because of This Corona Strain ...
That’s Causing People PAIN ... !!!
So We’re In A New Curve Within This World ...
Social Distance Observed By People In Herds ...
of Cattle Now Rattled By ... " Corona Battles " ...
It began with wings,
leathery skin of a night dweller.
Hiding in plain sight under the veil of darkness.
It could not live nor die, it only was.
Coated in toxicity and bathed in the very blood that worshiped it.
Well It Was A Matter of Time ...
Before Some Minds Would Eventually Find ...
Conspiracy Vibes About The Design of This Corona Line ...
the people are
protesting
some michigan fool carried a
confederate flag in the street
(doesn't he know
it isn't his flag that
is the flag of
my people we
bled under that
You walk into the giant corporation of a store, having waited in that line for about twenty minutes. It’s just another Tuesday.
So It Seems That GREED...
Is Part of The Disease That Corona Breeds... !?!
my dear nurse! in this condition...
talking to you, cures my depression...
I'm in distress, my friends left me...
watching you, is the reason i'm happy...
Wash your hands, use the soap
Stay at home, try to cope
Self-isolate, don’t foster hate
Forgive those who hoard the toilet rolls
We are all nothing more than ravaged souls.
They say to "social distance"
But that doesn't mean you have to stop socializing
They say to stay at home
But you can still videochat, you know
Six million Americans unemployed
More on the way
The fallen wings
A world for me and you
Ever wondered what’s a lie and true
In order to become cool
All we were doing was making ourselves a complete fool
We forgot what’s HUMANITY
Then came the time of the novel plague.
It was no pox, no fever, no ague.
No, this one was new
(It's called SARS-CoV-2),
Though we've seen its like before,
And its like was not of yore.
Beholding this enigmatic situation,
Where Corona is striking trepidation,
And earth is forlorn and sky is colorless.
Where my heart is in detention,
And mind is teemed with obscuration.
OutsideFor the first time in a week...
It was surreal to feel the windLightly blow against your cheekAnd amongst the trees...Birdsong
Infected your earsMusic. Symphonies.
What's there to be
Between you and me
If we're constantly separated?
It's been coerced
To remain dispersed
And sadly isolated.
After many suns and many moons
I wish that I could see you soon
I'm miserable.
It's killing me.
I can't see you,
hold you,
touch you,
and it's killing me.
I'm alone.
All alone in an abandoned apartment.
The silence, loud.
My head, messy.
Pandemonium at houses, hush across the streets
The centenary, probably worst of all centuries
Hashtag "StaySafe" , in the trending tweets
Disrupted nations, even as mighty as Chinese
Lockdown
Virtually in Jail
A Killer Virus on the lose
Covid-19 plagues
A silent terror killing people
Got the world in a panic mode
627 people died in one day alone
Distance
As we cheered to the new year,
That was supposed to be the start of gear,
But Alas! we were embraced by an unwelcoming fear,
Fear of mingling, for not to shed tears,
Im sitting in my house and weighing the options.
If I go out, I may get sick, but I have a death wish anyway so bring it on.
If I stay in this house any longer I am going to turn into Jack Nicholson.
I want to see my boy,
The world now in a state of despair. Uncertainty, ominous, something sinister in the air
Allurement and beauty, a lack of attraction. Human beings, walking corpses, how they fear their contraction
Last week, it seems as though you were so long ago,
yet you also just happened.
Last week, I miss your innocence, your ignorance, your joy.
I miss the hope you gave about plans for the future and optimism for us all,
