In the blink of an eye
. . parks become deserted
In the blink of an eye
. . streets turn eerily quiet
In the blink of an eye
. . children no longer frolic around
In the blink of an eye
. . worry and anxiety abound
In the blink of an eye
. . freedom is curtailed, not by our will
In the blink of an eye
. . life comes to an uncertain standstill
All happened, as it were,
. . in the blink of an eye
when an elusive plague stops by.
Blink
