Unmasked ©Pollyana Darrell 2020/06/01
Spiked fuzzy tennis ball
From where did you crawl?
Who told you to call?
Your presence brought brawl
Nothing could stop you at all-
Not even a wall!
Microscopic invader-
Jeopardizing our safety
Insisting on physical distancing
We put up resistance to your existence
Your persistence over run our self-subsistence.
Stealth bomber-
Invisible and deadly
We did not recognize you readily
While speedily and steadily you attacked us
Ravaging our bodies and economies
Leaving some to die alone and in ignominy.
Now you have been unmasked!
Though we wear the mask
We see you-
Marauder-
In quest of plunder.
Move on fear monger
No more her wander.
We will stay the course
Be patient; social distancing en-force
There is no recourse;
Wear our masks until you have passed and
We will be free at last!
It dwells not in any trade
but,
in a destined market.
Think of a distance market
Rather,
it blesses a close by shop.
Whitish and glowing
Just like cotton strands
'Aje' is feminine.
Her visitation to your abode
suites exactly like couples
first night.
The bride releases herself to the betrothed.
Wisdom and intelligence is required
while she stays.
'cause the wise controls everything.
Whilst 'Aje' lives with you
Don't hurry, be patients
'cause patience leads in characters
God of Wealth: Aje
May I receive your blessing
I pray
May I be self subsistence
I pray.
Fame,
Prosperity and success
is accompanied in wealth
May I be in control
I pray.
'Aje' use my home as your abode.
