COVID-19, you’re such a mean thing
You came and crushed quite a few people’s dreams
You wear this crown on your head like you’re a king
But truth is you do nothing but cause a sting and make the children scream
You even forced the boldest of us to quarantine
COVID has turned us against our brothers of humankind
COVID is eating away at some people’s minds
We are looking for people to blame
When we should blame you for being quite lame
Imagine being a kid and forced to play at home
Imagine being a parent and your children won’t leave you alone
Imagine being sick with a virus that’s unknown
Imagine being sick and forced to be in the hospital alone
Some thought they were gonna walk across that stage in May
But they didn’t know they would never get that day
That day they worked hard for for thirteen years
The day that they would realized they conquered all of their fears
And now it’s gone
And none of us know who’s in the wrong
No one saw this coming or we ignored all the signs
Now people who want to live their lives regularly are punished with fines
We dint know when or if this will ever end
So all we have is talking to our virtual friends
COVID you are a monster indeed
Some of us have hope so we fight ,but others of us are in need
In need of simply a hug or even a high five
But no we can’t touch each other because we fear we may die
