Lockdown 2020

Lockdown 2020

Stuck in those same four walls.

Suddenly your long forgotten best friend calls

Leaving your house has become a sin.

Stuck at home how long has it been?

The air is filled with confusion.

Freedom seems to be an illusion.

Thousands of people dying everyday

I think the virus is here to stay.

Doctors and nurses working sixteen hours a day

Companies running out of money to pay

People not having food to eat

The whole world is becoming an empty street.

2020 has been a year of despair

Happiness has become very rare

But like a phoenix we will rise from the ashes

And these months would have been nothing but a few flashes.
