I should be tired by now,
but,
monsoon season is here, and
we are swimming as far
and as fast as we could,
away from the murky waters
of this pandemic...
it is hard enough
to ensure the safety
of the family.....to
protect them,
we are okay, but,
it is heartbreaking
to see other people are not,
they're suffering...i do my best
to help, yet, unable to
help the way i want to,
because..........i can't,
this is not just
about health...it is
also a human, economic
and social crisis...
economy is at its worst,
no signs of business activities
unemployment continues to rise
people are hungry...without shelter;
people are broken.....financially,
and otherwise
what's worse,
there are those who
use these difficult times
to instill confusion and fear,
people who deprive
the most vulnerable ones,
of much needed assistance.
clearly, hard times
bring out the worst
and the best in people
and situations...
we are going lower
than where we used
to be.....if we do sink,
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
how do we survive?
