Tina Maly- Sonnet from Home Isolation
In this world, there has been a tragedy:
Locked indoors. Old people fight with death,
Beyond our home lies a catastrophe,
Where seniors’ lives lose energy and breath.
As this pandemic grows contagious
People’s statements fill with sorrow.
But now our lives have become dangerous
Creating a terrible tomorrow.
People swarming in supermarkets
Buying up everything they can carry
Hoarding supplies in ever-growing baskets,
I hope this situation does not tarry!
Despite the anxiety and fear
Soon, we will again some day cheer.
