Volcanic eruptions abound
With each step that we turn around
Muted voices rival against the loud
Scrambling from the darkening crowd
So we tremble in our rooms all alone
Eyes focused on blood images of our own
As the sly sooty wind twists and turns
It fans fires across continents as each burns
Lights out, lockdown, you have no power
A prisoner trapped in the hand of each hour
The rumbling rolls into a cumulative groan
Groundswells of power claim the throne
With a quick mathematical calculation
The masses of the powerless have overtaken
The viral infection leaves little room for choice
Unless we elect to speak in a bystander’s voice…
