Watching Breaking News On Cov-19 Pandemic Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Watching Breaking News On COV-19Pandemic

It had nothing at all,
anything we've known before,
or doesn't know now,

enthralled as this horror show,
like being watched in a movie theatre,
a chapter in a sci-fi fiction,
or a scene in a gripping nightmare,

we were born,
a temporary nature,
as these everyday places
essential the bathrooms, the bedrooms
or city communities,

To eat as hunger dictates,
To work as incomes required,
to be this unit as amelioration of some country,

whatever is allowed,
normalities requires modicum of sanctity
decency and harmony,

All the money in the world,
All the petrifying predictions of doomsday,
accidents, deaths, old age,
and the circumstance,
didn't prepare us for this moment,

every women in the world,
senior citizens, child, neighbors,
aren't immune,

Held hostage
by these infinitesimal virus as life's hosts,
sacrificial lambs,
against our deeply held insurance, of values,
and body wellbeing's,

now shocked, woven to the mysterious,
and witnessing,
persuade to believe,
wishing this isn't true at all,

We're helpless, hopeless, tired,
and disoriented against this pandemic,
this stupendous horrors coming from the winds,
and invisible laws of nature,
