(I was shocked to see in the news mass graves being dug in New York City for the deceased from Covid-19)
in silence we hide our fear midst peculiar helter skelter reality striving to stop a pandemic in its tracks it’s left behind a trail of devastation while thousands of our neighbours die in silence we hold our breath not fully grasping the magnitude the world’s our global village countries shut down unprecedented the pulse slowed down to a morbid crawl in silence we listen to the news it’s grim and shockingly surreal we’re asked to stay indoors to stop the spread we do our part it’s not enough as death tolls rise exponentially in silence mass graves keep being dug AP: 1st place 2020
