It Is Corona

mahnaz Badihian

Corona Came,

crueler than criminals

more robust than a cannon and a gun

more significant than the world economy

and redder than Stalin’s Guards

Corona comes to teach us lessons

more important than

the experiences of Rumi

bigger than Plato,s advice

Corona scared us away to hide

in the holes of our houses all alone

we felt more hungry than

people in hungry lands

rushed to fill our boxes

with bread and cheese

fill our bowls with food and seeds

attack the shops filled with

fear and despair

Corona comes

to empty the streets

and hide our money under

the fear of death

Corona comes

with hands that do not

differentiate between black and white

poor and rich

powerful and powerless

Came to relive the suffocated breath of nature

to calm the wounded plains

to revive the sick nature from pollution

Corona comes

to give the inhabitants of the world relief

from greed

Corona had come to strip us naked

of pride and prejudice

corona was more significant

than all of us and so small

that wasn’t visible

and so big that every day

carried hundreds of people with him

to bury them in a mass graves

“PAGPAHUWAY, PAGKATITIROK, NGAN PAGKAURUSA”

Sangkay ko, nakakahunahuna ka ba kay ano nasugad kita?
Inabot ha aton in usa nga delobyo, sakit nga Corona.
Ha imo panlantaw nahibaruan mo ba?
Kon ano gud an panuyo, kon ano an tinguha?

Makaksiring ka sangkay nga usa ine nga makaharadlok,
Kay bug. Os nga kalibutan naabat hin kagumok,
Bug. Os nga kalibutan nagtatangis, nagtutuok.
Hinen makamatay nga sakit, nagtikang la hin hiranat ngan batok.

Pero sangkay ko, ha luyo nga bahin aada in mensahe nga maupay.
COVID-19 mayda ha aton karuyag ighulagway,
Kinahanglan anay pumahuway it aton kalibutan.
Hit pagpasipara naton hit at kadagatan ngan kagugub.an.

Karuyag ni Corona magkatitirok kita.
Kay waray na usahay naton panahon han aton mga pamilya.
Husto na anay an panarabaho, tirig. Ob anay kita.
Sugad hin reunion aton la pamilya, waray iba nga bisita.

An pinakamaupay nga epekto ha aton ni Corona,
Kinita naton an aton pagbinubligay ngan pagkaurusa.
Pagkaurusa pagbulig masulbar ine nga problema.
Pagkaurusa pag ampo ha GINOO nga talwason kita niya.
