MI GENTE

BY DAPHNE RAMIREZ

They have no alternative, Whether to quarantine or work, They don’t complain though; instead, they work in the heat. Even when on the verge of a heat stroke, They’re determined with the thought of their goal

To fill the belly of their loved ones is what they’re working for. With the unhealthy air and the layers of masks to wear, all is possible when their mind is set. Their strength and health are crucial too; yet,

To the person who feels like their whole world is falling apart

To the person who is stressed over online school

To the person who has lost a loved one during this pandemic

To those who have lost their jobs

To the person who is going through any mental challenges

To you who is sitting in a dark room, feeling like no one is there for you

You’re not alone

You're love

You were placed in this world for a reason

Don’t give up

To you, To us, To our community, To everyone...

We will get through this together as one

To you, Yes you.
