Incarcerated indefinately

by

"Worse still to come"

WHO issued this bleak virus warning?

I don't know

Someone with too much time

To speculate I suppose?

 

I'm too busy keeping out of

The cordoned off Coronavirus Way

If anyone asks

Say I'm on a holiday

But the truth is

 

I'm currently incarcerated

At HMP  Self Isolation

Being held in solitary confinement

Indefinately at HM Government's pleasure

With no date for release set

This feeling of being imprisoned, it is so real.
The virus is almost being handled by the Media as a cult, a cult we don't all want to be involved in.
Glad you wrote this.

Kind thoughts.

Problems:
1. No post allowed.
2. Cell has 2m deep concrete shell inside a metal cage.

Keep safe
