Pandemic Poetry

I hope you are all healthy and well and safe and okay. 
At first I was very on edge about Covid and I checked the news every single day. Then I felt like I had enough problems to deal with when my refrigerator broke between March and May, then job hunting or going to work and having to serve the occasional customer who would not wear a mask even if you asked nicely. We've all had to adjust to unforeseen changes, but overall I hope you are okay. If you tuned out for a while, maybe check back in and reflect on where you're at because yesterday was a sad day. 

I wanted to share a poem I wrote a while ago on my unpopular instagram account about how I kind of felt about having to stay home and actually check my smart devices more often because I took a good break from social media before this year to focus on work and school but now those are online as well. Right now, I am almost done with my final assignments and I am looking forward to painting, writing, and putting up my Christmas tree very soon. I haven't had a stroke of poetry in a while, but there are a few thoughts on my mind that I would like to compose.

Pandemic

All around the world
Numbers keep rising
People are dying or
Going to bed crying
Trying to survive or
Are barely getting by
People are at home trying
While orders are dividing
Us in quarantiming
To protect our lives by
Staying inside while
Some of us are rioting
To go back outside
And enjoy the sunshine
Instead of going online
And buying media lies
Profiting on my screen time
I see Google ads eyeing me
Trying to watch me see why
It doesn't have to be this way
But this is the way it is and
What can I really do about it
But hope we survive this pandemic
