complacency (Remove filter)
The Wasps Kill
I fear once again,
my bitten tongue has cast me out
amongst the swarm, as wasps
land on my lips:
a mistaken stagnant flower,
that does not flutter
in objection, to what strikes
fear & discomfort,
into my heart.
& thus, I lay here lifeless,
on the pollen grass,
a murder most foul,
committed,
by the silence of my despair.

Coronaverse
Humanity's gone into hibernation
Our focus has shifted to survival
Coronavirus has a bright side
We've changed since its arrival
Mortal danger pushed us together
New-found solidarity is a boon
Survivors will emerge stronger
Dont self-pity or despair too soon
Love can prevail over evil
But humility must come into its own
The era of complacency is over
