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.
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
Comment this if you care comment if you are with me
So comment they did mainly poisonous and vile
How can you treat someone so badly someone who is fighting to smile
Threatening abuse because she got infected
Is it her fault your love ballad for Mussolini was rejected
Is she a zombie flesheater or just a worried little girl
Who had the courage to share her dilemma with her friends
She knows who they are now because some turned away
Instead of giving her support which they may need one day
Their parents shocked at how neighbours can be
Is self-isolation so bad it feeds on insanity
Trust no one don’t go near
A virus is something you should fear
I won’t turn my back on no one
I won’t condemn you to die
I will try to lift you all up
When all you want to do is cry
I might not be able to hold your hand
But I am here because I want to understand
We need to help each other
And rise above all of this
So fuck all the vile squalid haters
Go on cunts, comment this.
In this time many people have nowt to do
Squatting on facebook as most geeks do
Commenting on Jason Momoas’ post or cute kitty smiles
Who is that in my new friend request
That cunt from school I use to detest
Alarm alarm
The plague is among us
Zombie zombie
Snotty noses sneeze
