Happiness

Every day I ask myself:
– What is real happiness?
A voice whispers from above:
– Have a good drink and make love!

The second day, but the same question:
– What in life is satisfaction?
A voice whispers from beneath:
– Simply look at a falling leaf.

On the third day – same turmoil:
– What’s imperative of all?
Whispers came from everywhere:
– Tell your loved-once that you care!

Smashed by COVID

The flag is lowered halfway,
No one stays at ease.
She has gone, so far away.
God, rest her in peace.

The squad isn’t looking brave-
Not all are in the formation.
One of us is in the grave.
The very gruesome equation.

Not just bullets will us kill –
That’s an exclamation!
Sure, the damned COVID-19
It’s not an aberration!
