A Breath of Fresh Air During the Summer of 2020

Tuesday May 26. 2020

A breath of fresh air

During the summer of 2020

At times it’s hard to get out 

unless your good and ready.

The uncertainty of your safety

To go out and walk the streets,

So we tend to stay at home 

Avoiding the people you might meet. 

But that one day a month 

You take time out to go to the store, 

You meet people there from everywhere 

That you’ve never seen before. 

Uncertain of the goods that you buy 

But you know that are in high demand, 

You reach out to every shelf 

As you grabbed every can. 

On your way home, your think to yourself 

What am I going to do?

Where do I put all of these groceries i bought 

I do not have a clue.

This pandemic is driving me crazy 

You hear people say every day, 

I want to go back to work and school 

So I can be on my way. 

We all are creatures of habit

And when something stands in our way 

We want to plow through it, like a bulldozer 

So we can be on our way. 

All though the beaches start overflowing 

and people continued to be screened 

We continue  to slowly get on with our lives

But do not avoid covid-19.
