A New Life To The Temporary Battle Poem by Karen Pescante

By: Karen Pescante

Everyone of us has been sealed to face a challenge,
A challenge that often life is an exchange.
Sometimes, one life is needed to save many,
Which it has been sculpted in destiny.

Indeed, painful is in reality.
It is hard to cope with the catastrophe,
When COVID 19 existed in our society.
A dilemma which cure is needed globally.

It is not easy to accept the 'new normal' they say.
Wearing face mask and face shield to not harm the everybody,
Social distancing, is a new way of meeting your buddy.
This is the new life happened instantly.

A new life where you need to be a beggar.
A new life where you need to be convicted in your own house.
A new life where you need to face uncertainty.
A new life where you need to be retrenched from your job.

Kudos to the heroic deeds of frontliners.
They have to leave home just to save another home.
They have to risk life just to save many lives.
You deserved to be honored!
