2020 pt. 1: Shut Down

9/10/2020

 

At the start of the year, we made our plans

And everything seemed so well.

So many things we wanted to do

Before everything turned to Hell.

It wasn’t long, before whispers of

A disease around the globe

Popped up to cause a frightful start

And put a block up in the road.

In March, the country became shut down

And we were told to stay home,

As Covid swept across the states,

Leaving us nowhere to go.

On and on, we stayed inside,

And wore masks to bring some peace,

But time wore on, and nothing changed

In America, it would not cease.

It’s September now, and though we’ve tried,

Our worlds are still tight and closed,

The germs still spread, though places open

I’d rather just stay home.

The pandemic swept across the world,

So many people died,

Businesses closed and jobs were lost,

For these reasons and more, we cried.
