PANDEMIC DREAMS
I see the mountains
So far, so clear,
After many long years
Of contamination!
O Mama,
You are having
A great face-lift
After lock-downs!
I see wild swans
And dolphins
Back in rivers
And butterflies
Flutter everywhere!
O Mama,
You are having
A new life-path
After severe lock-downs!
Air is so pure,
Wind is so cool,
Fragrant and refreshing!
But,
I am not
I am not free to
Feel the freshness!
O Mama,
Why did you lock-down my face?
Time seems to be
Going faster
Drenched in fear and
Deep depression,
Time is speeding up
Fuelled with pandemic dreams!
O Mama,
Please
Unmask my face
And return my smile.
O Mama,
Unmask my face
And return my soul.
O Mama,
Let\'s dream for
A mask-free new world....
