THE PARABLE OF ISOLATION
PARABLE OF ISOLATION Here we are With untold stories: Stories scarring our inner minds, Uncertainties fill our hearts. The intensity of our mood grows. We were told to stay safe at home But we seem not to be doing enough. Today isn't assured Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. Coronavirus, the fear giver We reverence you in sacred dread A hand enveloped in the pocket Sanitizer in the other. The visitor that takes over houses In the presence of the house owners. We walk on the streets in dread The fear of meeting the giver of discomfort The fear of entering that forbidden house That house where solitude is celebrated That house, home of isolation. The fear of meeting the multiplier of troubles. Stay safe if you don't want to be isolated. Here we are Uncertain of what happens next Oh ye plague! We await your eternal demise.
