CoViD sa Nasyon
Itong si CoViD na pandemya
Sa Nasyon nanamantala
Turismo pinababa
Pumatay ng marami pang iba
Nang CoViD ay lumaganap na
Bilang isang pandaigdigang pandemya
Itinigil mga kumpulan at pagtitipon sa pista
Mga concerts, sports events at iba pa
Oh CoViD sa mundo, tama na!
Sa bawat nasyon umalis ka na!
Mga bansa ay hilumin na!
Mga tao ay palayain na!

There are some
looked down their nose
in the troubled Covid times
at those who bump elbows
as opposed to shaking hands
so with a bend let's start a trend
a new fad across the land
and instead if you please
why don't we
lift a leg and all knock knees
Do you remember 2020
When the world was Covid crazy
And those in power
Did everything to fuel the fear
Enrich themselves and ultimately harm billions
And kill tens of millions?
I do. I remember their death cult.
And I clearly remember
It was a time of mass hysteria for willing sheep.
What is the justice
For such a massive lie?
So far nothing,
But I wouldn’t bet my life on that.

I want this message from the past
When things like you're hearing now are illegal
When it's totally clear what you face
I want you to know if you don't resist
It will get worse
It's not going to get better
You will realize that you're the leaders
You will realize that it's up to you to act
This is my message to the future.
You don't have a choice
The attacks they launched against you
Herding you into the cities
Every few years a more horrific event
You have got to spread the word
Everyone will see the truth
You're in lock down prison cities
I'm speaking to the secret police of the future
Your families are dying from the bio weapons
You're dying from the engineered cancers
That information is restricted to you now
In our time we were able to access that information
Before it had been erased
"I know many of you in the future will be emotionless
Because of the vaccines
They attacked the areas of your brain
Associated with endorphin absorption"
Many of you have been lobotomized
I'm sorry that we didn't fight hard enough
I'm sorry that we didn't do everything we could
I want you to know we tried...
time stood still
we could all catch our breath
and watch the world
They lined the streets with bodies ~ we'd been cursed with a modern day black plague.

COVID 19 RECOVERY
For 10 days you avoided community
It ravaged your body with impunity
I avoided the plight
Which was quite alright
Praise God for my super immunity
Covid's much worse than the flu
It attacks your body, it's true
I did the shoppin'
And also the moppin'
I did what I needed to do
And now that you're on the mend
being healthy, you cannot pretend
Now I'm so happy
You're not feeling crappy
Thank God for ever amen
Nativity Bandhan
Stranger in a strange city.
Protect yourself.
Wear a mask.
Protect from whom?
One virus makes me foreign.
Unwanted, unnecessary and mean.
Suddenly I am an alien.
In the city alien, familiar city alien.
In my alien country.
An Island within the Country.
Feeling of shame, humiliation.
I realize the remoteness in me.
Muted, starved, exhausted.
My labour is what is wanted,
Not I.
Market-based labour market.
Daily wager, coolies,
Adhoc workers, contractual staff.
Long roads,
Sleeping rails
Killing fields.
Dancing death.
Fear of dying 'here'.
There should be four to carry.
'Why was I born?' feeling.
Blame poverty, blame the city.
Why don't 'they' suffer?
The rustic place which drove me out
builds the bandhan.
I know everyone.
No one will chase me out.
There or not there
I eat something all the time.
My mean labour earns me respect.
All are my bandhan
No man is foreign.
This is my nativity.
