Ongoing Silence

Sofia Geolingo (Grade 8 – Bonifacio)

A new source of destruction
Began in silence
Spreading discreetly,
Letting itself be known
As it unveils toward us as
A dreadful predicament to our daily lives

Struck by a sense of overwhelming fear
Panic started to arise
Everyone was getting weary
As people started to drop like flies

We had to face a new struggle
One that costs lives,
One that costs us to change the way we live
One that might go on for a long period of time

But things are starting to recover
As we adjust to the “new normal”
There are endless possibilities of the future
But we could only hope and pray
That this will all end someday
