this pie is only crust!

A strange new virus in China is found. Before we know it, it's all over town. Corona! Some try to ignore it, and cast it aside, "The seasonal flue is worse!" they all cried. The government closes the restaurant spaces, theatres, and bars, and gathering places. Distance we keep from old and the frail, and those whose bodies could easily fail. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. To grocery stores the people all flock. Toilet paper is now out of stock. "Six feet apart" is the law of the land, and wearing a mask has become a demand. At seven pm, we let out some cheers for hardworking folks with healthcare careers. Conflicting opinions on how it is spread. One journey outside could send someone to bed. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Hours are spent on phones in persistence of trying to get unemployment assistance. Projects to do, and errands to run. But infinite time means nothing gets done. Games with family, games with friends. On phone and computer the fun never ends. Runs in the park. Workout at home. My body gains strength, but my mind is alone. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Friends and co-workers all want to know: when theatres re-open, will anyone go? Questions unanswered 'bout future careers. I push these aside. Won't yet face those fears. Grasping for answers to what lies ahead; How long will this virus continue to spread? Sitting at home, motivation is low. Sometimes it feels like all I do is Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake, eat, sleep, repeat.

flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth we’re wasting away with scientific precision the lambs have been slaughtered for lack of provisions there’s wasps in the house from the vent in the kitchen a monkey with a typewriter is making decisions flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth dear lady rapunzel betrayed by a pox staring out the window bereft of her locks there is no safe harbor they’ve closed all the docks even dianne feinstein unloaded her stocks embers in the air little flowers in despair show them that you care flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth embers on the earth they've showed us what we’re worth flowers from the earth flowers from the earth little humans on the earth show us what you’re worth
