THE WORLD IS DARK

Covid-19 is here and the world needs unity

Voices are locked behind doors

Like prisoners behind prison cells

A crown symbolises power

Covid-19 is dictating the world with its power

Tears are being shed like a pregnant cloud in labour

We don’t know when all the pain will be gone;

When we could see beyond our tears

And hope that a new baby will be born

And the pain of labour will soon be gone

For the frontline workers we say thank you

Our joys may be clad in words but we mean it

To sacrifice a life for another’s

Is something we cannot overlook

We seek for protection on your behalves

All we have now is to stay home

Home alone and practice more hygienic measures

Draw closer to our families and loved one

And hope that we’d finally get to the end of this tunnel

Because there’s always a light shining at the end

The above is a poem I wrote and submitted due to an opportunity that was posted by Mithila Tamang on the 7th on April 2020 in the opportunities section of this noble platform. As a creative writer, I decided to participate to help heal the world with words. Though I could not win, I got recognised and I was awarded a certificate. I am using this platform to say a big thank you Mithila Tamang for posting the opportunity here and also encourage all fellow ambassadors to take advantage of the opportunities made available here, we just do not know what we could gain from it.

Thanks Mithila!

Green Cheers from Ghana!
