bellum omnium contra onnes #NewNormal #A2Z

 bellum omnium contra onnes

(Latin) the war of all against all

Since time immemorial

nations and cultures 

honour their warriors

glorify their wars

in awards and honours 

and lofty memorials

and then happens a war

that involves the entire world

against an invisible foe

nobody against nobody

or everyone against every one

the lines are drawn

Man/Woman, Poor/Rich

Urban/Rural, Singular/plural

Native/foreign

Hope and vain

the war continues

some wounded some slain

some safe as yet some in pain

who is fighting whom

the sides are yet not known

the war of all against all unknown.

Anteayer #NewNormal #A2Z

 Anteayer

(Spanish)  Meaning: The day before yesterday

-----------------------------------

New words, new fears

new facts

since when life refused to be

same ever again

Masks, sanitizers, distance

silence so good

but how much silence?

Time is now not a circle

a spiral with no end

What day is today?

Tomorrow?Yesterday?

The day before yesterday?

New Normal with New Words #BlogchatterA2Z 2021

I had registered for AtoZ in 2020, have already done 5 of these and then COVID19 turned my world topsy-turvy and I had to change plans last minute. I didn't have the mental space or physical energy to complete the challenge.

This year I am going to write short poems for the Theme - NEW NORMAL with NEW WORDS and I shall stick to free verse poetry.

Life has changed so much in the previous one year or so. Lemme see if I can capture this in poetry.
