A to Z Writing Challenge - K for Killing with Kindness



Lately it seems 
The world has been 
On a suicide mission 
Bent on taking itself out 
We have all been 
Consuming ourselves 
To death 
Racing around manically 
Chasing our tails 
For a touch more 
Perceived security 
Or just grand standing. 

Now we are stationary 
People are hovering 
In place 
Everyone homeschooling 
Putting in gardens 
Buying chickens 
Learning new ways of 
Making do 
Maybe this virus 
Sent to kill us 
Has managed to reshape 
Our world In a few short weeks 
Maybe all this will stay 
And we will say 
It was a kindness
