A Beat To Live
Millions of Filipinos working,
and living around the world.
Just like shipping balikbayan box,
they were yearning to come back home.
Did you ever expect that in a bit of droplets, contact, and fomites-
you would be counting days,
months and even a years?
Hoping that each day,
it can buy you a ticket.
Starve to death, losing breath.
Many people were lost even
were abandoned.
Thinking,
"Will there be still a beat to live?"
"Will there be still carols and a glimmer of hope?"
