Sadness

Do you feel this sadness? I do It creeps up on me Without realising it

It got triggered When I walked pass shuttered shops people with head lowered with so much on their minds

Knowing that more people Will be out of jobs With broken dreams Trying to get back to normal

Then I read This single mum in Philippine Died because of Covid While waiting five days for bus ride to her home

Human tragedy brings sadness To my heart Knowing that even more suffered Without any mention of their plights

Do I see positivity? Suffering and grief are always with us With this human life, sadness is always present Note it and open my heart to them
