indifferent to everything
nonchalant to policies
and politics that controlled
the wheels. all I cared for
was parties, booze and gods.

concerned about my people
and children, doing the little
i can do, hoping it ripples
too. hoping its spreads like
the pandemic did.

i will follow with love for humanity
and growth. i will stand with everything
that sustains livelihood.
when i begin to follow from the front
my ripples will reach the ends of the ocean.
