Streets that once were bustling, now fallen still; efforts to protect ourselves from falling ill.

Look out for yourself, your friends and families; so that we may create future experiences, not have to live from memories.

We find ourselves in isolation; not just where you stand but throughout the nation.

Our neighbours, close, and further afield; stay inside for your safety, protect and shield.

For if we are able to prevent the spread; of great discomfort and worse, I dread.

Then a time will come within which we rejoice; knowing that by staying at home, we made the right choice.
