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.
