The pandemic began and has not ceased to end.
Day by day living with fears and anxiety.
Doors are forced to be closed,
All the windows too.
Going out is never the same as before.
Borders become a locked door,
Roads forced to be empty.
Building asked to be shut down,
Salaries become memories.
The artificial face becomes an identity,
Screens become the only things to stare at.
No longer can a mother hug her children,
No longer can a child comes home to his parents,
No longer can the grandchildren visit the grandparents,
No longer can a husband comes home to his beloved wife.
A pregnant wife gives birth alone accompanied by only a face on the screen.
A dying loves one can no longer be hug for the last time until the day they are buried.
All conversations are made through call or perhaps if they are lucky,
A video call that runs smoothly without pauses.
The pandemic started,
It has not shown an end,
The graph is rising to show no sign of going down.
Some gave respect,
And they suffered internally,
Because...
Some gave ignorance.
Do you know how it feels?
Seeing only through a screen.
Being able to see while not being able to touch.
Do you know how painful it could be?
The longing to hug a person you can no longer see.
It is painful beyond the scale.
Unexplainable through words.

Do you still remember how it feels before the pandemic?
How do you feel about it now?
What do you want to tell the others?
or...
What do you want to say about the Covid-19 pandemic?
