Since worldwide we are all experiencing the effects of the coronavirus in various ways in our lives, a wonderful college friend of mine used her time to write a poem that I want to share with you.
THE MASKED SOCIETY
Who are you behind
That mask?
Frightened of any
Spray through
The air that
The mask might not catch?
Afraid of each other,
Mom, Sis,
Dad and Brother.
Don’t hug or
Touch another.
This is a pandemic
That separates our
Souls and hearts.
How so we start
Back……
Solitude has become
A way of life,
Stay home….
Yes….you are safe.
Can’t roam…
No eating out, concerts
Or happy hour.
Learn to appreciate
A flower, or birds,
Feeding outside.
And wait……..
