Life Locked Down

Life Locked Down

Gloomy greys give way to bright blues skies

Birds bring cheer to the desolate greens

For a long time, we longed for leisure

It came with the condition of confinement.


Lonely neighborhoods walk along empty streets

Kins agreeably crowd homes once lonesome

A full house, for now, forgets the forlorn metropolis

Silence talks aloud with still life, as time quietly listens.


Commoners become prisoners; the celebrity solitary

White-collars clamor remotely; laborers live without a living

In this battle, distance is the drug that can heal

Precious life hangs between health and wealth.


A planet in peril, a warning from above

We shall overcome, howl a million voices

We shall rebuild from here, a better future

Where all creatures can breathe without a ventilator.
