Isolation day 7
Everything familiar now seems strange
The new normal is not normal
What seemed important has now grown small
What we took for granted is no more.
Our lives are but a number on a chart
Our strongest fears find an echo
In our deepest heart
For our feet feel ground zero.
How we yearn for more innocent times
How we would welcome back
The troubles of last month with open arms
If only we had known.
A century born on certainty
Is ravaged by impotence
By a foe invisible and formless
Time stands still in silent queues.
One thing for sure when this is over
Things will change for we have seen
Never to be fooled again
By false tin gods or vain pursuits.
The time will come to exit homes
And shade our eyes in broad sunlight
We will raise our glass to toast the freedom
That only justice bring.
