Ghost Town Living...
Life under Lockdown
Life has become a true Ghost Town as a direct result of the Pandemic.
Streets have been cleared of vehicle traffic, empty storefronts, parks and events
shut down and eliminated, Life cancelled. Living in a Real-Life Ghost Town.
Forced into a Ghost Town from this horribly cruel "Shelter-in-Place"
nightmare that is destroying the economy and wreaking havoc on our well being.
And it has just been extended another several months. Indefinite Forced Isolation.
Life destroying, soul crushing. No contact whatsoever...no hugs, no touching.
Not allowed to live, and be sure not to breathe. Forcing us to become
ever-increasingly alienated from Life itself. Life has become a barren prison...
Forced to keep distance. Why do they even bother having anything
open, the few places that are open.. grocery stores and a few food places, when
the hours are continually being reduced and restricted...opening much later
and closing much earlier while limiting capacity, and restricting access,
then what is the point? Barriers are being put up
all over to force people to keep their distance. Things have
gotten way out of control. They have long since passed ridiculous.
Life has become extremely impersonal.
Deserted and abandoned, life cast to the wayside, our lives in
drought...a barren landscape of dystopia. The economy dried up,
shriveled and completely dismantled.
No more personal interaction. Grocery stores, food places, and what
little retail remains, have imposed prison glass for barrier separation,
which makes it difficult to hear what they are saying and it blocks the
screen to see if things were rung through correctly at the right price
and the total, all blocked now. The grocery stores and few foods places
that remain open have greatly reduced their hours, making access to
restrooms and food even more challenging. Becoming a bubble of one...
physical interaction no longer allowed. Where Our lives are already
forced into isolation when living on the streets.
It's in the Homeless Contract I refused to sign. And cast out as
Social Outcasts from the start.
Being distanced from people is not the main issue...but having no access to
restrooms now, since all the parks have locked and blocked all
restroom access...finding places to go when every place is on Lock Down,
restroom access now can only be found in some grocery stores & gas stations.
The only places still somewhat open to the public, though in very limited
capacity and restricted hours. Contrary to popular belief, those of us
on the streets, we have to go too! We cannot hold it forever.
Biological needs are something every living being has to take care of.
Touch... Contact.. Connection... Socializing...An essential human element,
essential needs are now forbidden. Withering our souls... Dying to just breathe.
Living in a forced Ghost town where life has literally been shut down and
turned off. Crushing the economy and leaving this country, this world and
our well being in great deficit. We are a Social creature. Lives literally
hang in the balance. To live, to thrive...we HAVE to connect, to touch,
be social. The fabric of life has been cut off. And living in the streets,
we already have so little contact, there is no thriving... Just merely
surviving because the threads of existence has shredded and
unraveled, the loose threads have been discarded, much like our lives.
Our lives being Decimated, while our Economy has been shattered and
splintered in devastating ways. Millions of Private businesses forced to
permanently shut down, millions forced out of work, while
not a single Government office or person has suffered
any of their imposed consequences on OUR lives.
