QUARANTINE LIFE: POETRY PROMPT-- DISPARITY


She was sleeping

He was praying

They were performing

A kid was playing

And all of that

 Made someone fear for their life


He was selling

Ain't no telling

How many suffered

Begging, yelling?

But, something chilling that I saw

Struck like a knife--


An insurrection by a throng

No way to justify the wrong

How bizarre was the warm greeting that they got?

With glee, they vandalized a shrine

Terrorized leaders in real time

And all concluded, with a single fired shot


Oh, there was much to justify

Boots on the ground to rectify

The situation; 

All could sense the urgency

But this I know, within my heart

The scene would have been blown apart

If the rioters had looked anything like me.
