This is not a ploy to use the pandemic as a tool , to gain new readers, to gain new followers, this is just one persons perspective on an event that brought misery to every community in this huge globe. This is just one person informing the world of his fight for survival , his shame of feeling bad when other people are feeling much worse, this is real paranoid thoughts, these are his real bad dreams, this is just one person asking for answers and hoping for a return to normality,

Pandemic Days

Sat inside, I can’t go out to play

The virus took our freedom away

Can’t have a beer or be one of the boys

I’m sat inside ordering Marc Bentzens toys

The beers ran out but I’m pleased to say

Simone dropped by and made my day

Got some food in and plenty of toilet roll

Got my music, swinging rock n’ roll

Forbidden to do what us humans do

Just sit tight to see things through

No kissing assholes or holding hands

Just virtual kisses are on demand

Forbidden to walk the dog more than twice a day

Sat inside with the cats I play

Sipping wine ignoring the news

That post on facebook gave me the blues

Forbidden to curse told not to swear

So fuck Johnson because he don’t care.

Comment This

In a world of shadow and a whole lot of doubt

We are all worried with a lot to talk about

In this time of pain in the event of loss

There are some people here who still don’t give a toss

Yet there are brave people living with consequences

Living with the virus ashamed to be marked

So they share their experience giving us warnings

A diary of fever a page of isolation

With a space to comment to encourage to give hope
