Song of Exile

What is this mess, this cuss, this fuss

what bombed the new year...once full of hopes and bliss

not a month through, the epidemic battle blew

and put everybody exile

 

lovers separated from others      shut the gate

quarantined patients hovered     fortune or                                             fate

and the wait prolongs…

with despair and sad old songs

what patience befits the desire to reunite

or the wish to fully recover

still       the wait prolongs

 

I miss you     that is all they feel

I miss you     that is all they say

I am hoping to see you again one day

 

now they knew

what they strive for and want to attain

human connection—sincere affection

they were nothing without it    hopeless   empty

and in pain of exile they grew
