Peace is lost, chaos reigns,
As masked voices protest
“We cannot breathe”.
Colors war with one another,
All seeking their rights,
As Covid looms, bringing death.
“Be gone from us!”
We cry out in desperation
Grieving for what used to be.

Neath the Masks
‘
This new normal is
Filled with masks and 6 foot marks.
A world so surreal
Senryu
Since this Sheltering in Place took effect I have only been going out to the stores one day a week to get my groceries and necessary supplies.
Each week I see more and more changes taking affect. More control, more limiting, more distancing and this week, today it was more masks.
It seemed everyone was wearing masks today, where in previous week just a few were doing so.
It just seemed so surreal seeing everyone all around me in masks.
False Faces
Betrayal
Brings duplicity
Back and forth
Lying tongues weaving
Dishonesty and deception
Cleverly disguised
Harmless looking masks
-Falseness-
Masks looking harmless
Disguised cleverly
Deception and dishonesty
Weaving tongues lying
Forth and back
Duplicity brings
Betrayal

Worry masks peace
Anger masks calmness
Lies mask truth
Doubt masks trust
Fear masks opportunity
Bitterness masks love
