Home Isolation
There is no quiet in home isolation
In our home, a small nation
-
Runs
Around, Words and feet
We are running out of meat
-
Now
Fast words, loud feet
Loud words, fast feet
-
More
Then seven
Now fourteen, good heavens
-
Up above
The rice, on the pantry shelf
I now have lots of help
-
To reach
The magnificent seven beings
In our home I am seeing
-
Seven
Releasing words
So many they cannot all be heard
-
At once
I ask myself “How many words can an ear eat?”
Until it’s full, what capacity does it meet?
-
In Measure
How does a person know,
If they have had an Ear full?
-
Of News
Next week will be a spike of cases
Globally I see many faces
-
Frightened
Groups of people, if I attend
Will it be my end
-
Two
People close to the family died
Can’t go to funeral to say goodbye
-
You
Sent the young adults to the store
Is that safe? You can’t handle hearing anymore
-
Death
Spread has not yet peaked
How many will it be next week
-
End
The pandemonium, limited food on the shelf
Focus on others, not wealth
-
Or else
This will never end
Call a family member or friend
-
Now
Check in, help them out
The sick and the elderly – shout out
-
Loud
Collaborate and share
Make all of us aware.
-
Of Weapons
Our Hands, to be cleaned often
By doing so will soften
-
Impact
Of being home
Certainly not alone
-
By myself
Reflecting on breath
On thankfulness not wealth
-
Of a nation
United we must be
Together we must see
-
People
Compassionate, holistic
Putting others first
-
Place
Yourself on hold
Watch from home as things unfold
-
Across the world
Health the great equalizer
Let’s hope this makes us all wiser
-
To all people
Making a difference
In a role of offence or defense
