A poem by Loraine Mponela


OF HEART

Lockdown triggered.

Suffering trippled.

Despair and panic.

Kindness showed up.

Shopper of food came and delivered.

Teacher of zoom came and showed the way.

Ideas and direction.

Bought necessities.

Culturally relevant foods.

Fundraiser for cooked foods.

Emergency funds.

Phone credits.


Cooking everyday.

Cycling 11 miles a day.

Checking in.

Cheering on.

Tweeted, retweeted.

Shared and Tagged.

Mentioned.

Recommendations.

Solidarity everywhere.

Safety is paramount.

StatusNow4All .

Is what we need.
