Factors

Covid - 19 has painted our streets with fiery dark colors Families and loved ones hiding behind close doors Sadly, we mask our smiles through days and nights Government says 'Stay at home' When our lips sleep without a taste of food When our stomachs sing broken hymns and repeated verses Even electricity is a major enemy She comes once in a while with a beautiful dark smile Bluffing with her eyes, hips, titties and rounded shape We cry 'Mama, we are hungry' But the outside has become a nightmare to our faces So, we are now starting an open conversation with our hearts We are quarantined Our entire nation stuck between sleep and awake For the news has torn us apart Health system is crumbling, Our homes are lacking of oxygen We fall on our bellies with marks of sorrow on our foreheads
