did politicians want to sow fear
locking children in bubble houses
locked down inside days weeks
lasting locked away from sunlight
locked away from fresh healthy air
locked away from fun playgrounds
will only grow child phobias
will only grow child fears
will only grow child nightmares
TV media spreads daily dose news fears
constantly pimping death fear dangers
creating not safe mental environments
politicians pushing news coronavirus
fear agenda including lethal playgrounds
children not safe in sunlight fresh air
healthy playgrounds were actually safe
happy healthy necessary child spaces
happy fresh air safe for play child minds
which was a healthy space place
all that open air where coronavirus
had minimal change to spread
to masked socially distanced people
healthy outside playing exercising enjoying
instead of locked up in stale air houses
with growing fear phobia
afraid to go out of houses
toxic phobia health issues
