Mother nature takes her breath
As man is rendered breathless
a virus breeding respiratory failure
lungs saturated in our sins
the toxicity inflicted onto Earth
has been injected into our system
our carelessness has become poison
we share with family and friends.
Survival is in isolation
we’re all called to Quarantine
to quell the vicious virus
virulently attacking the vulnerable
we all face the inevitable
with every sunrise
we take a chance
just to savor sweet life
slipping away as we speak.
We’re left speechless
and unable to breathe
a destiny deserved
our throats sucked dry,
solitary confinement
because of what we’ve done
to our beautiful earth
an evolutionary balancing
to create new ways of being
cocooning us into
who we are yet to become.
We burrow ourselves
into hope
that we will become
better.
