As I peer out the window
A case study in social distancing
The spaces and cracks between all the buildings is the same
Theres a car parked on every corner
No one's on the road, traffic is light, empty drivers seats all around
Â
I cant even connect to my friends no more
See eye to eye
Place myself in and be a part of the messiness of their antiquated lives
Â
I pride myself on stability
I expect the same of everyone else
But this isolation is getting to me, oh dearly
Even after the coming recession
Can I make my way in this world
I am not fond of disease
I protect and contain myself from the mere notion of vulnerability
My savings account reflects that
I'm handcuffed to the chair I'm seated on
My wrists itch to a dull red
I dont resist
I try to lean in to the unfortunate truth of the day
Nonetheless --
I see nothing in my common man
Because I do everything in my power to not be common
Even in tough times like these
Â
Regardless, chants of national unity erupt, flags hanging out like chandeliers
Even those wearing gloves and masks fight to show their rugged war face
Expressionless and at a lost for words
I breathe at the window screen, gasping at the tiny specks of condensation, a sign of life
Â
They have their peace of mind,
The peace of mind I've wished for
rings long after curfew has been set
Â
But now,
The children, they're engaged, they're active, fists like guns clinging to their side
They give me hope for better
I anticipate an awakening
Â
If martial law is imposed
My fellow countrymen will give me strength, give me clarity
I can see it through the fog, through the chemtrails, in the air
What's really going on, what the agenda really is
Â
I will be alright
I will snap out of this
My fellow countrymen will be alright
The curve will flatten and we'll climb right over
This is only the beginning
