Helplessness Poems
Shoulders To Cry On

Deaths of young people, near and dear ones,
Their dead bodies float in mourning rivers
While we helplessly watch ourselves
Being carried away by uncontrolled tears.
They die in hospitals, built for saving lives,
And we stay back home or in quarantines,
Practising the precautionary measures
While honoring the helpless govt. guidelines.

Couldn’t Save Me
by Elias Becker
Your words like waves
Wash over me as I tried to be brave

All the king's knights rush out from the palace
While the towns people watch on in horror
The princess is saved, but lost in despair

With flooded light
Falling on beautiful flowers,
