Look Up

Phone has been silent for a long time
Accidentally, it became a highlight in life
Let everyone bow their heads 

Phone was like a magical character
Even a trivial tear was evoked
Enough to bring a storm
The storm made us forget this beautiful and real world

Look up to listen
You will find birds singing
This will beat your heart with more happiness than a song

Look up to see
You will find your friend's beautiful face 
This will give you a richer expression than an emoji

Look up to touch
You will find the love around you
This will bring you more warm than a overheating phone

Look up to breathe
You will find the fresh air
This will relax you more than a phone game

Look up to taste 
You will find the dishes cooked by mom
This will give you more energy than a photo of delicious food

Look up
You will find something amazing
This will let you be amazed

ask

write about an issue, i was asked. it's a simple topic really. we discuss what we think is  so wrong, so right, so often, so we write our answers. “wear something less revealing” “don’t be so ghetto” “if you didn’t eat a bat” “you’re just asking for it” “your braids aren’t professional” “boys will be boys” answers we think we know to questions we’ve never cared to ask. ask the black girl why she still gets teased at school for her braids. ask the muslim girl why she flinches when anyone outstretches their hand towards her hijab. ask the black boy why he’s afraid of being pulled over, never driving over the limit. ask the middle eastern boy why he’s “randomly” checked at security. ask the chinese girl why she’s being attacked for an illness she doesn’t even have. ask me why i’m not scared of having an eight-hour investigation while crossing the border. ask me why i’m not yelled at in the streets for something i didn’t do. ask me...

We Are Not A Virus

“I’m beginning to be so ******* tired of you CHINKS” “Stomach is turning y'all make me sick” “Just go back to Wuhan, wherever you come from” “Been holding this in I can no longer be calm” “Put a mask on your mouth I’m stomping you out with these shoes that were made by you” If you saw the Bleed and all the  Creeps on the streets Would you reach out or the rather  Turn the other cheek Everybody be like “Me won’t think differently” It gets funny Now we in the zombie scene Killing each other before the skin turns green Fear-mongering Now they be partying True colors surfacing  when the world’s suffering As we speak disease accelerates Exactly the excuse They use to spread the hate Mind is what it usually contaminates Look into their eyes That’s where you find the real plague Infecting the weak minds to discriminate Spreading faster than bacteria for sickness’ sake Why you gotta put a tag on it in the first place...

What A Small, Non-Living Thing Can Do

What A Small, Non-Living Thing Can Do A Covid-19 Poem Disease, coronavirus disease, (COVID-19), Virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus 2, (SARS-CoV-2)  Why so many names? No wonder it is nicknamed, ‘the king virus’ Before it was a pandemic, it was an epidemic, and before that, it was nothing Then it soared high above statistics and that’s when it gave itself its own name Affecting many people in one area and spreading its arms out across the world and affecting everything else Separating families, friends, and even jobs The virus received all this fame Will this virus, this disease, strike havoc any longer? Or will there be a cure? A virus killer? And so begins the questions that need answers What has the virus done in terms of having fun? Touch - Bad. Cough - Bad. Breathe - Bad The list could go on and on, and what’s worse? QUARANTINE! The thought of staying home for two weeks Not being able to go anywhere, not even to the store Tha...
