Staying inside
Constantly terrified
Of a looming threat,
That we can’t see.

Never thought
I’d be a danger
To my Mom and Dad.

Staying away
For everyone’s safety.
Never knowing when
We could become deadly.

Some are paralyzed
But Others carefree
Thinking it could never get me.

Many are looking
for someone to blame.
A visible enemy is easier to hate.

How can nature
Still have so much power over us?
Bringing the world to its knees.

Our technology cannot compete.
It can only give us comfort and distraction,
While the enemy keeps us in jail.

Will the enemy unite us,
Or will we turn on each other?
This will be the test.
Are we worthy?
Will we defeat the invisible enemy?
