There are Angels among us
Metaphorical Angels
They have no wings to fly
No superhuman powers to call upon
And no ability to remain unseen
They dance to the tune of human need
Become a crescendo in this dark time
She leaves her little one asleep at dawn
With aching heart and weary eyes
For even Angels tire out
She enters Hell where monsters roam
Little creatures with verocious appetite
Leaving lungs and lamenting in their path
She stands her ground and grapples fear
For even angels are in need of courage
She gathers the sweat and blood and tears of strangers
And soothes them to life or death
Yet while she suffocates in misery and mask
Selfishness abounds outside
And those restrained insist on fun
They gather together in revelry
Kissing flesh and adoring sun
She sees them on the nightly news
While she strokes her daughters brow
And comforts her with unfulfillable promises
Yet though they have the right to be free
They make her burden heavy and sad
With more victims for her ordeal
Yes, they have the right to take the loaded gun
To play roulette with their stubborn lives
Yet when the game involves warheads and virus
They invite death for others too
Who did not choose to enter the deadly casino
For even angels die!
Dedicated to our wonderful nurses

Pandemic reality
       one step outside


the scent of death.

i heard
you asked
about me

you asked when
we will see
each other
again

and i said
'soon'
as if
it was
completely
normal

that you
asked
about me

Melting frost bites
Exposed porcelain white skin
Weighed down with a dose indoor
Scorpius May 2020
I sit
Just so,
Rolling
Breath
Up and down
My spine,
Bottom
Heavy
Between
Wants
And musts
To come.
I sit
And remember -
The line
I’ve chosen
Goes
Forward.

Spring has gone
Summer has come
My heart is still in winter
The freezing wind made me chill,
and froze the memory
so i can search for

Time stopped in this winter
Everyone repeated same scene every day
Everything become static
like pictures in google image
so  i can search for

My steps are slower
but my heart is kept searching
starting from this freezing winter
will go on and on.
Tamara Lynn May 2020
It’s the dawn of a new fate
For the entire human race
We’ve grown to take advantage of being alive
And what it means for us to thrive
Hindsight has now let us realize
That our main goal is to simply survive

A dawn of a new age
Stuck inside a cage
A rat race while we isolate
From afar we communicate
Remain in a state to collaborate

Just waiting for the upward trend to reverse
It’s been a turn for worst in the midst of a new decade
Social dissociate is not how we were made
Many without pay and a world in dismay

With the dawn of each passing day
We hold onto hope that a new fate awaits
I wrote this when the Pandemic was first hitting. Just some thoughts about the strange times right now. Hope you all are well <3

The great irony
Is within us all, our economy
On why it bleeds?
If we're only buying what we need
Carlo C Gomez May 2020
Stay inside
Play it safe
There are much greater things to miss than a day at the beach

Beginning with life itself
Scorpius May 2020
I found
My Self
Racing
Time,
Bridging
Gaps between
Moments
With breaths
Held,
And jobs
Complete,
And I paused,
And I breathed,
And I waited
To be left
Behind,
With my jobs
And my breath,
And Time,
She slowed
With me,
And clasped
My hand
Until I remembered
We were
One.
