William Kelii Kekaula Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

A View of Hope

A View Of Hope

Since Coronavirus: COVID 19,
Had disseminated throughout our world,
We safeguarded ourselves through quarantine,
With worn face masks, rubber gloves kept all furled.

It preoccupies our society,
I control my time by being engaged,
31 times 2, this 2020,
In contemplation on how I have aged.

The retirement age, not 60 plus 5,
Not anymore, just a tad bit longer,
If social security will survive,
Let us expect that it will get stronger.

Hope for a cure so things do not get worse,
Then a sonnet it is, and not free verse.
