Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

- The Invisible Enemy -

                      We do not need to draw a picture of the victims
                           Today's youth grow up under the illusion
                   that they are the only ones who have been betrayed
                                A piano has black and white keys
                             When the shoe is five sizes too large
                              you can swap it for a pair that fits
                             Are you struggling to make choices
                                       We are all on the wave
                                and it is everyone's responsibility
                      Isolation has become part of our everyday lives

                  People have a fundamental need to be seen and heard
               What's on your list, toilet paper and half a bottle of brandy
                       Although social media makes it easier than ever
                             to keep in touch with people around us
                         Everyone puts life on hold, regardless of age
                             in the fight against this invisible enemy
                                 You are not alone in this darkness
                                      ___ it only seems that way
                                 Right now it's actually the enemy 
                                      sitting in the driver's seat
                                                 Act now

Judy Ball March 23, 2021 at 9:14 AM You are so right Anne-Lise. The enemy seems to be winning right now but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. We can still win the war though this battle may be going down hill for now. There is strength in unity especially if you are in unity with God at the forefront. Wonderful write.

Sotto Poet March 23, 2021 at 6:58 AM It doesn't matter who gets credit for what, as long as everyone's effort is rewarded and nobody suffers alone. The storm surge that has been anticipated is the third wave that has been inevitable for some time now. Have a wonderful day. Anne-Lise Andresen March 23, 2021 at 8:25 AM - The storm surge will take time before it disappears ... we must be patient and do the best we can, Tayeb - Thank you so much for your comments :) - Have a lovely day :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Tom Cunningham March 23, 2021 at 2:45 AM Well written Anne, we're all in this together shame some dont take it seriously with some idiots having parties putting others at risk. Now a third wave is imminent. Good luck and enjoy your day. Tom Anne-Lise Andresen March 23, 2021 at 2:59 AM - Even our Prime Minister and her family broke the infection control rules - (14 people invited to dinner) - If the Prime Minister is not able to follow the rules, how can we expect the Norwegian people to be able to do it? - A great shame !!! - Thank you so much for your comments, Tom :) - Have a lovely day :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
