How Do I Feel

Like an alien who has been thrown out of space 
all tentacles and feels I don't belong here anymore 
Life has gone through a transmutation of disgrace 
and I am afraid of what is in store  

Masked bandits everywhere I cannot trust the air 
those fear vibes are like a metallic taste in my mouth 
the news is one sided, its all about I talk you stare 
contesting all I hear I'd love to fly south 

where the sun doesn't discriminate nor hate 
and the virus is divested, from all I consecrate.

Life sometimes may seem so dreadful with no body around to care or to be trusted. Such moments are depressing. But be sure that this too will pass. Winter cannot stay for long. Wait hopefully for the arrival of spring. May God take away all your gloom and give you cheer... ! Love and hugs, dear Rose !

Hi Vie; I do not think this work is negative, or unfounded. I think it is honest and realistic, an apt analogy of what is going on in an increasingly evil society. My heart aches along with yours. Well, bravely said!

Sometimes the negative around us seems to be blown up exponentially until we can no longer see all the positive. It's not always easy to readjust our sights ~ well crafted poem.

Aliens immigrate but, they stay everywhere. I was an alien too. I was homeless.
