Corona Virus' Moment in Time - By Monica Asimus
The world is spinning out of control
It is changing to a place that I know,
Is not the same.
Doctors and nurses on the front line
Putting their lives at risk,
Trying to save people who are dying, everyday
Right in front of their sad and gloomy eyes.
Scientists are seating,
Their racing the virus.
It is a global pandemic,
And we are not quite there yet.
Being in a global lock down
Having to stand 1.5 meters apart.
Sanitizer in your hands,
Wearing face masks everywhere you go
And washing your hands constantly
Afraid of sore throats.
Staying at home
With the virus out and about.
Just like a lion wait for it's prey.
Week and weeks in isolation.
I am like a little lonely bear.
Tired of the screen,
With online learning
I just can’t get enough.
Downloading the Skye app,
Just to communicate with friends
The boredom is endless.
Watching Netflix,
And lying on the couch.
Pajamas are allowed
Each day is the same.
Nothing has changed.
When this is over,
We will never again, take for granted
Full shelves at the store
Conversations with neighbors
Laughter and chatter with out friends
Shopping at Green hills
Swimming at the beach
A full crowd at the movies
Friday nights out, having fun
Doing what we love.
A routine full of activities
Afternoon training sessions
The rush to school each morning
And the stadiums coming to live at night.
With each deep breath we take
A boring week goes by
6 weeks going on to 7 in isolation.
When will this be over?
I want to live my life.
