When night came
All the dead had disappeared
Washed away by the tide
Fire was consuming the rest of the world
After the soul shaking earthquake
After the oblivious sea had come to punish us
After the impatient tsunami came to shake us
Once again we raise our iron curtains
Every fortress equipped with modern alchemy
People seeking the high ground
Each border strictly patrolled
Armed soldiers and police
Road blocks and travel papers
Proving our ability to walk
Social distancing
Cautioning us not to talk
Confinement in our houses
The blast doors are down
Quarantined in our cells
This silent enemy
Betraying humanity
Hadrian's wall will not protect us
Oceans keep us apart
The Berlin wall has fallen
Mountains keeping out
Trump's wall will not keep us safe
Closed doors keeping in
Over the wall
In the dead of night
Dressed in ghostly attire
Drowned by flood
Consumed by fire
