Support for Life




The saddest often do not weep,
still waters run very deep.
The most wronged people do not always call it out,
 they are victims of hurt and self doubt.

People next to us maybe going through terrible things in their life,
Heavy burdens, broken hearts, sad souls, life full of silent strife.
People who laugh a lot are not always happy,
They simply do not display their feelings for all to see.

If we can, we must,
support strangers emotionally everyday.
a quick smile a sudden insignificant favor can brighten a person in disarray.

 If we could, we should,
Support acquaintances every time.
Silly banter, happy chatter, an easy compliment,
Can bring some solace no matter the depth of trauma they underwent.

We must always make it a point,
to support family and friends through ups and downs.
Ignore their anger, their facade and their screams and frowns.
Humans have a collective soul, like the roots of trees in the jungle intertwine,
Some cannot be sad and struggling while the others celebrate and shine.

We must support humanity in the face of adversity,
Only then can we survive and thrive.
Let us try our best everyday, its hard but we can and we must.
And tomorrow is another day.

Nature's Deadly Virus

In history and across geographies,
crossing over high mountains, rocky plateaus and deep seas,
Nature's wrath knows no boundaries,
It sweeps across age, species and countries.

It can be as big as an earthquake or a volcano,
or microscopic as a virus that can travel and grow.
It catches people unaware,
It cause panic and it can scare.

It can be deadly or it can silently disappear,
It can be far or it can be near.
Like all of natures mysteries, its origin can be unknown
But it has potential to make humanity suffer and moan.

But one must never fear but be cautious,
it lurks in silent spaces, in its arrival it is not obnoxious.
One must always believe that they are protected by a higher power.
and if humanity lives sustainably, it can exist forever.

It is the time to be united and wise,
it is the time to not spread fear and lies.
It is the time to be healthy and strong.
It is the time to hope and pray that nothing can go wrong.

Coronas will come and go,
we must put on our best show.
and try to find a cure,
so humanity can endure.
