What a year it has been
Who could have foreseen this
Quarantined nation
Wearing masks
So much closures
Cancellations
Deaths
Social distancing
The whole world in fact
Digitally connected
Socially without bounds
Party and pleasure seeking world
Shut down
Closed
Stay away
Or party on and die
Remarkable how much one
Loves to feel self empowered
Feel so special
And sit on top of pedestal
All powerless
Brought down to their knees
Not one more gently
In the face of death
All choosing life
Over death
Premature death
Guaranteed death
Not realizing that
Death unexpected
Unanticipated
Can strike at any moment
Covid or not
