A Blanket Of Discomfort Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Covid-19 disease has brought us misery
Look at the heavy robe of discomfort
That dresses our facial expression
There is no happiness in the face of life
Death has plotted to occupy our homes
Sorrow flows from every crevice in our hearts
It's not the kind of discomfort that disappears with time
It's the re-writing of the book of life
Life as we know it will never be the same
We lost friends, teachers and parents
We are flabbergasted by the heavy handedness of this disease
We are totally wrapped in misery
And our path is in disarray
We need to refocus our body, mind and soul
And dig deep into our hearts
Maybe we will be fortunate enough
To find hope
Hidden in the turmoil of our spirit
This blanket of discomfort is too heavy
We have to remove it from the body of our lives
We need to replace it with hope
We need to bask in the ray of sunshine
And maybe then we will smile again
We will laugh again
We will dance again
We will be normal again
