2019... Dumating ang COVID-19
Biglang nagbago ang mundo natin
Nawalan ng pamilya, trabaho't saya
Hanggang kailang kaya itong pagdurusa?
Mga manaliksik at siyentipiko
Saang sulok man ng ating mundo
In the year 2020, we thought it was going to be the year that we need to live in harmony but turns out to be a phony. People die, my life a lie, made me realize, I need to open my eyes and rise to face the challenges insight.
Not very often a stranger becomes an integral part of our lives
Is there a better illustration of this truth than the pandemic Corona
Eight billion people of world are facing every day, every hour, every minute
This poem was inspired by the events of COVID19 and all of the present racial
discrimination going on.
Year 2020 began just like any other year with January being cooler but spirits still higher
February came and we heard of a thing called Corona that seemed distant and life went as usual
Crazy COVID-19 has us all in a tizzyToo much information making all of us dizzyMost who’ve been exposed self-quarantineRunning out of toilet paper making us mean“Social distancing” is the phrase du jour
Among mankind's best—Brave, courageousHeroes who do no harmAssuaging our fearWith fellow feeling and careAmidst viral strains' stealthy swarm.Among mankind's worst—
Does wearing a mask make you ill?Are you a social distancing hater?Just imagine how you'll feelBeing put on a ventilator.

Like everyone she too had a dream of her own
A dream not something impossible to achieve
A dream for which she dared even the deadliest virus
Working days and nights doing what she loved
I wear my mask not for me, but for you
For your children
For your parents and grandparents
With their cancer, heart disease, and asthma
I fear for their lives
The sickness is brutal
WE are the priveledged ones,
taking these deaths as our time to have fun.
WE are not affected and WE cannot be told what to do,
as the rest of the world stands silent and blue.
And just like that
The world became quieter
Hearts grew heavier
People's privilege shone a little brighter
And the great big tide
Kindled humanity's desire to be kinder.
Dear anti-lockdown protesters,
Okay, we get it.
We know you hate being at home.
We know you want to go outside and do things.
We know you want to go back to work.
2020 came with an attitude
Can you feel its magnitude?
Far & wide, longitude, latitude
I guess we are all screwed
My soul echoes praises,
In the most inopportune of times.
At a sneezing in my face,
In the checkout lines.
Praise is a compulsion,
From my grateful heart to the divine.
Parental guidence is advised
Covid coupled with 5g licensed
Creating mass hysteria even on mountains
Humanity needs protection from this deadly weapon
But all the bouje stay resting not helping
