A personal battle:

for breath,

for smell,

for taste.

None of these will be recovered in haste.

Forced to wait.

While a battered body recuperates,

contemplating fate.

A fight for life,

that many have lost.

Refusing a vaccine, at what cost?

Protect yourself, protect others

because this fight

has cost us brothers, mothers, lovers…

When will it end?

Only when we choose to fight.
