Fickle

I blame it on the quarantine
Not to severe
But all of a sudden it is
Standing 
Watching
Open mouthed
Ready to deprive us 
Of school
Work
Businesses 
People
Stay at home orders
Separating us 
Causing worry
Social distancing 
The new life
Governors
Mask the truth
Massive decisions 
Need to be made
School work piling up
A website is all
To fill the void 
47 million is the projected total
Layoffs
Unemployment
Furloughs
Fired 
Stock market crashing 
Ever slowly
From rich to bankrupt
Many people suffer 
Many people die
However fickle Covid-19 is
I blame it on the quarantine
