What happened to America



                  What happened to America

 The pandemic of 2020 changed America forever
Life as we knew it was gone for good
places shut down, many people lost jobs
things were changing right there where we stood.
 
 Businesses closed down and the economy too
schools shut down, because people were afraid
the world was in chaos and people lost their minds
freedom for safety seemed like a good trade.

 People were being confined in their homes
family gatherings were actually banned
no one aloud to interact with others
it sounds unreal but to this i'd raise my right hand.

 World governments turned on their people
the rights of citizens were being taken away
people were getting seriously brainwashed
by the corporate funded media day after day.

 People were taken to quarantine camps
families were separated and held against their will
because of a government funded agenda
whos main goal was to sicken and kill.

 One good thing did seem to come of all this
people started to wake up to what's real
people started to blame those responsible
but only when everyone comes together will we ever
really begin to heal.
