Pandemic Dream
By Dean Traylor
What we’ve become
Is the greatest sum
Of this pandemic dream
That flows in the darkest stream.
And this dream leaves the sane
Drowning in the devil’s rain
While the fringe
Live on the binge.
The virus spreads
And left many on the death beds
But with all the fever and pain.
The non-believers went insane.
What we’ve become
All truth and lies, only numb.
In this pandemic dream
That tears at life’s fragile seam.
An ugliness spreads
This harbinger of dreads
Recommended
Some say it ain't so!
As the deaths grow.
“It can’t be!”
The non-believers see
A conspiracy they believe
Instead of seeing those that grieve.
“It’s fake!”
They say in death’s wake.
They close their eyes
Even as a relative dies.
What have we become?
Deaf and dumb
Fueled by fear
Affirmed by morbid cheer.
This pandemic dream
One can deem
Is a real horror show
Where humanity is buried deep below.
