Our parents and grandparents were called to fight, with an enemy they could sight. Brave were they all,  but now we face a unique call. 

Our enemy is invisible, and quarantine is the only solution that’s visible. As society closed down, heroes surfaced from all around. 

Looking at our past, the many shadows that we’ve cast. Staring us now in our face, as we shelter in place. 

We know whom the heroes are, from near or far. Those that place themselves in danger, and put up with our misguided anger. 

To the medical staff worldwide, whom refused to hide. May your strength shine, as you cross out each line. 

To those in our supply chain, you’re a lifeline to those that remain. Bringing in medical and supplementary needs, it takes a special breed.  

To those charged with our security, your job now has less obscurity. The lines are  clearly drawn, as you begin to show your brawn. 

Forever should our outlook change, as society has been forcefully and needfully rearranged. No longer should we place fun over health in any race. 

As we now clearly see ourselves as monkeys without a tree. Knowing how every animal in the zoo felt, a cruel blow that we’ve been dealt. 

Life as we’ve envisioned, is now being decisioned for the betterment of one and all, as we try and answer humanity’s latest call.
