We are sorry!

We failed as a system, as humans & as a government.

We are still failing when your pain only augments.

We cannot begin to imagine moments without oxygen.

But the disheartening part being, nothing can be undone.

We wish we could hug you, kiss you, touch you for the last time,

For your family mourns and misses you during such a horrendous time.

You didn’t deserve to go, nobody did,

But we crave for the saddening goodbyes we wish we could bid.

We don’t remember the last time we talked or heard your voice,

To come up to you & make amends, we wish we had a choice.

With you gone, something around will always be missing,

Not being able to help you, this inevitable disaster makes us keep reminiscing.

We failed the rich, the middle class and the poor,

And let’s not forget, the anguish of doctor – our saviors.

We wish we could oust this scathing situation,

The bereaved families, cry for help from the nation.

The worst part is, all we can do is wish, cry and pray,

We are still in denial, with another you, gone every other day.

We are sorry.
