We Rise Hand in Hand
May 26, 2020
The pandemic captured the world in its foul hands
And yet the Earth regained its sight amidst blue skies and green lands
Graced with improved air quality and fewer carbon emissions
Thousands of individuals recovered from ailing conditions.
While coronavirus danced to its abominable tune
The numbers of those deceased rapidly grew
Masks transformed from accessories to necessities
Washing hands became the temporary remedy.
I found no pleasure in the current circumstances
The elderly, young, and sick suffered from great consequences
Unemployment rates heightened and business collapsed
Across the entire world, coronavirus had a devastating impact.
I understand, however, this too shall pass
The turmoil and hardships will no longer amass
Our healthcare workers devote countless hours
Heroes in white coats, healing is their superpower.
Supermarket cashiers provide food for numerous families
Their presence is strongly appreciated, helping to easy this calamity
To the compassionate teachers who selflessly tend to their students
Thank you for educating us for our growth and improvement.
To the mothers and fathers who endlessly gift their love
As children during this crisis, we cherish the time you spend with us
The mountainous troubles and arduous misfortunes will conclude
We must persevere hand in hand and express our gratitude.
We must stand together and raise our heads high
We must fill our hearts with hope and begin to rise
Our combined efforts will triumph over this unwelcomed disease
Through our actions, coronavirus will be noted down as history.
