WE'VE BEEN LEVELED


What day it is?
I know not.
What time of the day it is?
I can't tell.
Today looks like yesterday.
Yesterday looked like today.
We can't tell the difference.
Everyday looks Sunday.
We just can't tell.
Two days ago looked like Saturday.
Today looks like another Saturday.
Who knows?
Tomorrow might be Wednesday.

There's no EPL to remind us it's Saturday.
No church service to prompt us it's Sunday.
No afterwork sitting to give us an idea it's Friday night.
We just dey.
The only thing we know now for sure,
Are day & night.
That one sef,
Some people no know coz dem no dey bath regularly.

We're on lockdown.
Indoors is all we know.
Our lives have been halted.
Our freedoms,truncated.
COVID-19 has levelled us all.
No matter our statuses.

We may not know when this will be over.
We may not tell when life will be alive again.
We're just home,
Eating things,
Watching things,
And listening to things we might never have done on a normal day.
We couldn't even attend Jesus' funeral.
We're just hoping.
We can do little.
We're on lockdown!
WE'VE ALL BEEN LEVELED!!!
