Echoes of the Present

Echoes Echoes Echoes
Echoes of this deadly disease that I hear often more than the giggling of a baby
The sounds hunts me each time I close my eyes and open them
It sends a threat signal each time I see my fellow man from a distance or at close range
I’m engraved in fear as they appear to have the power to take my life if I do not distance myself from them.

Now I have to stay in my home all day and do nothing
I have my family around me but yet it seems like am all alone because we have become a shadow of ourselves
Dad's so close, mom's so close, brothers so close, sisters so close but I can't touch or play with them as I feel like am a threat to them as much as they are to me
I cant run my hands through dads beards and hair and help mom get dressed for a party and my siblings get in to a fun fight.

Friends so close but yet too far
Only our eyes meet through the window but not our bodies
Am so hungry now cause there's no more stuff to make meals
All the stuff mama got went bad cause there was no electricity to preserve them and now I think this hunger will kill me before the CORONA VIRUS gets near.

Stay home stay home with no source of provision
I can't eat and I can't even sleep cause the heat won't let me
May I not go insane out of hunger, lack of electricity and boredom cause the BLOOD in my veins are not weak but active and fearless
I will get pass all these soon
I will get pass all these soon
I am not from a weak generation
I can face my fears
I can over come my fears
We can win this and have our victory if only we try
We are bigger than what tries to hold us down
We will rise over this.
