This air seems stiff to me with pain and hurt
Feels rigid, while temps are falling below, frigid
Those who bear the air, with death they flirt
Compassion is needed if only by, a smidgen
This air is so stiff with faces of children
Who need love and hugs by the dozen
And guidance, from those called brethren
That wont come from their blood, or their cousins
This air that is so stiff to me, it reeks in disease
Riddled bodies, lining up for their meds
Claiming numbers, leaving only puffs of their essence
Thread through masses, it snakes while it spreads
If you take a moment to notice, get a whiff
Feel the heaviness, of This Air that is so Stiff
