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:VICTIM OF LOVE
Every pillow that I cried in
Reminded me of every road that we rode on

Every tear that I shed out
Returned me to every night we made out..

Every dance if you in rain..
Left me with nothing but pain..

Those red eyes with night chats
Are now dry with deep sobs

The moment I held your hand in mine..
And glared at the sinking sunshine..

Those footsteps that we took together..
Laugh at me that you left forever..

You found someone better..
But left me with a life of bitter..

Observer and Nature

An observer
Observing from space
Noticing, that all changed motions
Earth with its slight tilt, rotating on the same
But with the micro and macro lives,
Has turned them into different game

Suddenly everything has slowed down
The world in bizarre speed of rockets in light years
Has turned into mild movement of a slowest snail

The time is suddenly so slow
Like someone has slowed down the pace of the clock of life

As if time is suddenly in pensive mode
There is something above
Which has suddenly imposed
It’s self defined rules on us
Rules that we are binding to follow for fear
Fear is the driving force
To make it an upside down of life here

Earlier life was not running on legs
Some light years running time it was, on
All was that fast,
That prepositions for time for emotions and thoughts were dying
Life was becoming all robotic
Robotic control on nature
Like, Nature all distressed and annoyed
Chose this time for us
Time for silence, deep silence
Time the whole world together take responsibility of it’s actions
And Nature now reconciling with the observer above
Observing, lying over it’s hammock
In calm and peace chosen for itself
