Answer 1

Dreaming of freedom

Raindrops drum on the rooftop

Can’t go outdoors but we can go to the rooftop

Its twilight, eyes closing like doors in this hell

Our sympathies know no way to travel beyond this cell

The world scarred, scared and scattered

Fingers crossed, in anticipation for a cure

A remedy to the end of this pandemic

Then we can leave these cages

To soak in the sun

Until then, kindly let’s stay home.
