Waiting
In line again
Didn't think it'd come to this
Not me
But the shop closed
How to put food on the table
We made it for a while
But we ran out
Its horrible
Hunger and short tempers
The line grows longer each week
Today it wraps around the block
I’m not alone
But it’s so hard to be here
Hiding behind this mask makes it easier
My identity hidden
Waiting for another load
6 feet apart
Waiting for the stimulus check
They have no idea
Waiting through a dark winter
So cold
This will be a long wait.
Restore us O God
Let your face shine
That we may be saved.
Amen
