The world is quiet
Screams are muffled
As news outlets become
Gusts of death and horror
The administration is useless
100,000 would be…
Good?
Forty-four will not save you.
We are left to our own vices
Time
Is not on our side
No, it’s not.
3.3 Million apply for unemployment
Another 6.6 Million apply in a week
This is not taking into account those that were already unemployed
The system is crumbling
Under the weight of the world
We are asked to remain calm
We are asked to stay vigilant
Strong for our families
For those that we love
And yet, we all feel crushed
Under the pressure
Of the unknown
A virus
That has gone viral.
