Lockdown

About my feeling through this pandemic and quarantining.

Time has stopped

The rat race paused

The silence commenced 

What a ripple this caused. 

The world outside

Now out of bounds

We're stuck in our bubble

Coping with fading sounds.

Every familiar voice

Has vanished, has gone.

Our home now our prison

Oh what have we done?

We're hiding from people

Contagion on the loose

We're keeping our distance

But not from the noose. 

Slowly we are dying

From virus and isolation

We are in a new phase

Can there be a solution?

Maybe its the beginning

of a different life.

But don't run from the needle

and instead into the knife.
