Living Behind A Mask

Living Behind A Mask

Today 
we are
Called
To
Live behind
A
Mask

Officially 
It
Is
To
Prevent
The
Spread
Of
The
Virus

Yet
In
One's
overly
Suspicious 
Mind
One
Has
To
Wonder 
If
The
Mandate
For
Wearing
A
Mask
Has
More
To
Do
In
Training
The
Flock
To
Suppress
Emotions
And
Censor
The
Freedom
Of
Speech
That
We
As
A
Nation
Has
Enjoyed

Something 
To
Think
About

National
Guard
Being
Put
In
Place

The
liberty
of
Making
A
Living
Has
Been
Restricted

leaving
A
Nation
To
Be
Solely
Dependent 
On
Its
Government 
to
Give
Handouts 

Many
Fear
A
Depression 

This
Writer
Fears
Something 
Far
Worse

Tyranny....................

Being Me

We can only trust that our governments are doing the right thing... Our lives are held in their decisions, now so more than ever. We can only hope the world is a better place to go back to (metaphorically speaking) after all this. Economies will be trashed I am sure and it may be then that we will see even darker days. Take care my friend. There is a lot to think about in your words here. Let's hope its not tyranny x

Very powerful! 

The fear is trusting a government who cannot get along, but during this ordeal it seems like they are making a great deal of effort. I think this is the worst outbreak we have ever saw as a world collectively, we were unprepared. But for tomorrow, we'll know what we need a stock of (toilet paper!) and Little Debbie Snack cakes. 

Favorite part: 

Censor
The
Freedom
Of
Speech

This is where "trust" in our government takes us, this fear of loosing what we have struggled to gain for centuries: freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of choice. 

Thank you for sharing your poem, it made me think.
