62: For the Fallen: 2020
(Quatrains)

So many deaths, so many tears,
   So many reasons why we think
That 2020's gone to hell
   And teeters on the fiery brink!

Celebrities and commoners
   Have left this world of bitter pain,
Free of the horrors haunting us
   With threats for those that still remain.

An aunt of mine has left this world
   Due to the world's corona scourge,
And many reasons have I still
   To fear for those caught in this purge.

But those of us who still remain,
   We carry them inside our thoughts
And in our hearts, where love still beats
   Long after their remains have rot.

(To be continued...)

A/N: This is a sad time to write a poem, but for me, if I can harness all the pain into something meaningful, it's worth it. Stay safe, folks!
