NaPoWriMo Poem 26
Quarantine
January began cold and dreadful
announcing a warning heeded,
the news unfolded
disease and death ignored not by me.
February began,
intensified harder
my physician said:
"there's no cure, stay home, cancel the concert".
March began,
skepticism in the masses.
I watched under lockdown
voluntary since January.
Toilet paper hoarding,
full effect onward,
stay at home pleas.
Closing of everything get out now.
Complaints of payments,
food shortage,
food rationing,
bills pilling up, nothing to do, nowhere to go.
April Fools began
protests all around
people dying on the ground
no one cares,
as long as the economy is safe.
May begins
Everyone goes back to work,
back to shopping,
back to restaurants;
the first night back home, they all die.
