Covid Anthem

Our world is on repeat
until everything is better

Our lives are going to be the same
until everything is better

The same frequency over and over again
lulling us to sleep.

Endless nightshifts and worries
until everything is better

Millions of us deep underground
until everything is better

When people are dying left and right
and still some are blind.

Spitting mouths and violent eyes
until everything is better

Policemen, just trying to keep the hate at bay
until everything is better

Misplaced beliefs filling our heads
wrapping like chains around us

Families, living in fear
until everything is better

children and elderly, knowing any breath could be their last
until everything is better

Thanks to the ones who would risk everything
for some who don't even care.

Scientists searching and searching for a solution
until everything is better

Small buisnesses closing and towns becoming empty
until everything is better

until everything is better
until everything is better

Echos,
Deaths,
Hate,
Bravery,

Hope.

That is the Covid anthem.

  • How can I write


    What do I write about
    when 
    people are dying
    people are mistreated
    people are misguided
    people are screaming
    people are crying
    people are morning
    people are shouting
    people are angry

    I say "people"

    You need to stop
    Thinking
    You need to stop
    Breathing
    You need to stop looking the way you look
    You need to stop talking the way you talk
    You need to stop being you
    It is too much
    It is too different from everyone else
