S***s and DealsA Poem by RL ValdezWe all have our own s***s and deals Battles we fight to keep up the reel Lives at stake if we mess the ordeal Tough times to deal with a strong will. We have these s***s and deals all around Frays over ideal well-groomed bound, Fuss we fret that create painful sounds Until when the pandemic stays in pound. For only seven hundred and more hours of fright At third of our twelve, we all have left in doubt Fear of uncertainties over crumbling hope of hows Seems constant never exist, things change too loud. As we all stumble to live with a faith we renew Over again kneeling for a salvation that feels askew. To whom antidote will be served is just for a few As it goes the system per strata rumbling in stew. Who comes first from a society of all hypocrisy From top boiling down to bottom hierarchically Who arrives with a diem is in pure priority But appears with a please dies in painful peace. For each of our every s**t and deal we frown Doubts for tomorrow stay still on the ground Will salvation we long yearn descend in a gown To keep our hell from falling eighty-sixed down? 20200321
