Tumbleweeds

The world is currently in a panic,

From ongoing and sudden monstrosities. 

Our health is in jeopardy, our economy is in tatters. 

But Evangeline Lilly, why is freedom your main concern?

 

I try my hardest to not be ignorant

Everybody is in a different situation after all.

 

Some cannot self-isolate despite being at risk,

Some have bosses' such as Phillip Green

Who aren't even aware that their staff exist.

 

I name drop these people as the dead bodies rise.

Hearing more and more tired sighs.

Lock down this country I plead,

I would rather see tumbleweeds than have a loved one in need.
