Who Are You?

Leonard Maero W

Who Are You?
We had never heard of you
We had never known  you
We heard you're in east
We heard you liked to feast

You brought fear among us
You reduced food among us
We heard none would fight you
We heard none would see you

We were told,  you're wingless
That, you can't move alone
We were told,  you're limbless
That, you need us to locomote.


Then, the sad news reached us
That, you'd pitched tent among us
Our economy, you destroyed
Our education, you disrupted

Every island was closed down
Every boundary was closed down
To prevent you, to  reach us
To prevent you, from  poisoning us.

 

You're kept us away from worshipping
You're kept us away from shopping
Forced indoors to make you harmless
Forced sanitization to make you powerless

 

Our strong solders, can’t squeeze you

Our silver treasure, can’t sedate you

Our scalpel handlers, our foot soldiers

Our special habits, our will to surrender

 

Black skin owners, doesn’t scare you

White skin owners, doesn’t seduce you

Yellow stone owners, you let fall

Current crown owners, you soar fear.

With more time,  we'll defeat you
With  our commitment,  we'll destroy you

Washing our hands, using detergent  regularly
With high hygiene, you'll die  eventually.
