<p><em>At home we would stay,</em><br>
For at least 28 days,<br>
History in the making.</p>
<p><em>Neighbours telling on neighbours,</em><br>
Others offering favours,<br>
All trying to weed out political lies.</p>
<p><em>Not sure what’s ahead,</em><br>
Or who will be dead,<br>
Nowhere to go,<br>
can’t leave, can’t run.</p>
<p><em>Families sitting together,</em><br>
Going walking enjoying the weather,<br>
Learning to love with the change of pace.</p>
<p><em>That prioritizing work over loved ones,</em><br>
Being Obsessed with funds,<br>
Isn’t what makes one happy.</p>
<p><em>Everything can be lost so quickly,</em><br>
Life taken so swiftly,<br>
And it is through our choices that we pay.</p>
