UMLÄUT 2020 - THE PANDEMIC ISSUE
GLOBAL
Anya Patel
Bars on Mars
I write this from Mars
Attempting to spit bars
As I have an inkling on what to do
My planet lacks gusto and brains and food
We need Earth back from you
But, the world sits in tears
Past- corona affairs
Wondering what to do
No more going out, or meeting friends
Or even shopping for food
But on my planet the rules are lax
(Earth butchered themselves with an ax)
Nobody listened, Earth lacks the noble
So now since the pandemic went global
I can’t see my grandparents, or neighbors, or friends
Earth will tumble down again
So I write this on Mars, definitely spitting bars
The planets have nothing between
