Half the world shut down
stayed home
napped and shopped
while we went to work
so they could.
We heard they were captive
how rough lock down was
while we picked up the slack
and their trash.
An army of us
pulled extra shifts
kept the lights on, ran food pantries
we were labeled essential
but they got the bonus.
Breaking news daily
constant updates
new orders
never safe for them yet
but always for us.
