Tragedy unknown

divided into dreams with murderous scenes

pairing the eyes in routine to be foreseen

the tragedies of yesterday with no vaccine

just co exist in a world covered in gasoline

this has all became a global routine

shift after shift we cover their bodies

curtains open to the legitimate worries

expectations unknown thrown in respiratory

flatlined hourly in numerous gurneys

uncountable losses and a future unknown

saying final goodbyes through a telephone

a broken universe yet still condone

racism and prejudice has spiked and shown

the shattered pieces overgrown at the throne

where is humanity in this changed existence

why is this become a common sickness

mentally and physically we are victims

to this pandemic and this fragmented system
