That got me thinking about my response 

A poem to respond to a pandemic

In this information age of Corona

Where talks of virus go viral

Where bated breath is not awe

But a desperate lunge for the ventilator

Countless remedies flood the wifi

Lockdown is without protective gear

Creeping isolation and hunger

We are online 24\7

An OD of information

Soon the crash of the internet

Will bring complete silence

We will be small floating cocoons

With no news only thought

Maybe than we will recognize each other

And know that we are in this together
