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

    Title:CURVES OF SUNSHINE

    The bliss of the blooming flower
    The kiss of the charming shower

    The creeping creatures of the canopy
    The snake hissing at the honeybee

    Those paths leading to the deep woods
    Those fish bubbling at the pool beds

    Oh! Dear almighty
    ‘Ou filled my soul full of sunshine
    In this beauty full of red wine…

    Title:No one comes for me.. It’s just you and me..

    Dive into deep seas
    Climb into high skies

    Pass by the narrow streets
    Cut through the vast valleys

    Pull out all those prejudices
    And sneak out with those snowmen

    Dwell into the daisy woods
    Dip into the holy beds

    Forget every noise
    Regret every rush

    No one comes for me
    It’s just you and me

    No one comes for me
    It’s just you and me

    Hold my hand tight
    And let’s get lost with our flight
    Leaving all these bugs out of our sight

    No one comes for us
    It’s just you and me to us..
