I’m all
locked up inside,
And I can’t go out.
I sit
alone in my room.
Thinking
of life.
Will it
come back soon?
No
students in school,
Ain’t no
body at work,
Except grocery
store clerks
Nurses and
doctors.
officers,
first responders.
To each of
you all,
I tip my
hat, and say thanks,
Please get
home to your families,
God,
please keep them all safe.
Coronavirus,
You got me
cryin’
These
people are dyin’
I’m feeling
like the Earth,
just don’t
want me,
So, I shed
a tear,
Or two thousand twenty,
for the
world,
And for my
country.
I love all
of my neighbors.
Every
creed, every race.
And all my
students,
let them
graduate.
God if
your listening,
Take this
virus away.
No new
deaths in the news.
No new
cases today.
Covid-19,
now look what you’ve done.
You took
over our lives,
Went and
ruined our fun.
I’ve
already had you,
and you
won’t finish me off
But I’ve
shed two thousand twenty tears,
For this
world, country and all.
But when
it’s all said and done,
I’ll still
be confused.
I’ll still
be sitting alone,
Crying my
virus blues.
