Quarantine

How are we so divided in this country so strong?

How do we believe other people so wrong?

Can we open our eyes to others’ intelligence?

Can we weaken our political defenses?

Each day that passes, the masses divided.

The kaleidoscope colors massively collided.

Hypocrisy and hate ruling social media

That caused panic, fear, and unnecessary hysteria.

Those that say it’s a media hoax.

Those that post inappropriate jokes.

The ones demanding to be set free

From the government’s decree.

These people hurt the hero’s heart

The ones looking at the hospital chart

Those working long shifts to help the sick.

Those that light the candle’s wick.

Yet our world is crashing down

In every city and every town

People crying for the end to near

People’s cries you’ll never hear.

Some still going to work

Some stay-at-home, going berserk.

Some have a family by their side

Some are alone where they reside.

They all feel helpless in their own way

Trying to make it another day.

Why can’t we find a happy middle?

So each side doesn’t seem so little.

We all miss our friends and our routine

And the normal life before the quarantine.
