indeed, all that hoopla about the oppression of wearing masks, when in reality adorning a simple cloth can protect those most vulnerable in our community (even as a mere gesture, without scientific validity: its really not that much to ask of a civil society, surely?)..
an important and timely write, especially now that generally it seems covid situation is threatening, to improve and so everyone is quickly ripping-up safety guidelines like 2020 was a decade ago?
Very thoughtfully crafted message... I like how you abandoned the traditional haiku subjects of nature and how it relates to the individual and apply it to the modest mask and it's potential to express love and succor life! I hope Bangladesh figures out how to cope with the current Asian pandemic resurgence. It is a beautiful country with such intelligent, proud people.
