Feelings

Ups and downs
We experience throughout the year
Down in the dump at one moment 
And jump with joy at another
Feelings can be controlled by our emotions
Or the surrounding 
Or the weather
Or simply out of control
The epidemic comes and goes on and off
Lingering 
Hiding somewhere
Peeping and waiting
Causing prolonged sadness and depression
Restrictions on outings and dine-ins
Hindrance on business activities and intimate contacts
Wow what had happened to this world
Are we and our feelings going to be controlled by the virus
Signifying a war between man and the virus
Instead of a war between man and man
Man and the alien
Man and the other planet
A paradox to be solved indeed

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A deep and emotive write.. The poem is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human emotions, the external factors influencing them, and the societal impact of ongoing challenges, particularly the epidemic. The contemplation on the evolving nature of conflicts adds a thought-provoking dimension, prompting readers to reflect on the current state of the world and the collective efforts needed to navigate these challenges...
