Late 2019
A contagion born
Late fall the season of Joy
Ringing bells forlorn
Silent anguish cries
Across bubble towns our minds
Yes hell on earth rise
Under a blanket of doom
Seemed no escape pending gloom
Healing hymns heard resounding
Songs of faith hope echoing
Balconies a symphony
Amidst dread times agony
