Eva Petropoulou Lianoy: We pray (poem)



We pray 


We pray as Jews

We pray as Christians

We pray as Muslims

If all those prayers were one

Nobody needed the war


We pray as childrens play

We pray as newborn look tge sun

We pray as we see the sea for the first time


This think called virus came at night to our bed

Called dark angel try to take our souls

Try to take our dreams

Our existence


We call the source above

We pray to the Holy Spirit


The darkness came above our houses

The Grey cloud near the windows

Nobody knew his name

They call it the Son of Krown


No bodies

No injuries

No blood

A body start to become

An empty bottle full of air


No breath

No move

Just an empty bottle full of water


We pray as birds sing in the forest

We pray as we travel to the Moon for the first time

We pray to Holy Spirit

Against the Beast

We must fight

And have no fear

No panic


Because at the End

The Angels and Him

Shall rise again
