“100,000 Body Bags”

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

100,000 body bags
no more breathing
no more talking
no more sneezing
no more coughing
as joblessness soars
and everyday citizens
are asked to wear face masks
bared in pandemic clashes
in order to halt deadly lapses
into graphical pandering
for greater advantages
high-hats versus hard-hats
in social media fads flashing,
“The only card of its suit in a hand”
as fancy-schmancy wear while jabbering
to the top of a wizard’s staff
having been trampled by hashtags ...
