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
