Pandemic
By: Otba Fathalla Mahmoud
In isolation
Since I came
I usually return home
Open the door ...
And find it crowded with absent visitors
Why?
Because I’m infected with poetry
It's a non-communicable disease
Therefore, don't replace the feathers of your face with a muzzle
Do not shrink
Quite strange keep listening to something that does not stop talking!
Turn off your TV ... don't add errors to mistakes
Hug yourself
And remember Poet
This world can be saved
With a dream.
