Relapse

by Alayza Campos Azis

Every growth, every progress
Reversed and set aside
Was it 2016 or since the beginning
when was it reversed and set aside

Honesty, honor, integrity
Reversed and set aside
Lies, baseness, corruption
Reverse and set aside

We live day by day
But there is death in every way
Still we fight, still we hope
To reverse and set aside

The damage, destruction
Trauma and depression
We rest but we struggle
To reverse and set aside

One day, and let it be tomorrow
Let not it be vain, every sorrow
Every good that was undone
Will be reversed and set aside
