What would you when faced with the worst? - Poetry

The audio-video visual of my original composition "What would you do when faced with the worst?" as part of the channel "Pearls of Wisdom"

What do we do when faced with the worst?

A thought that usually never crosses our mind first.

In happier times, we enjoy or spend time whining

About things we lost inspite of working hard trying

To fulfill our goals or desires deep within

Not realising to have the gratitude for the moment we live in

What really happens when we are faced with the worst

Was never a formal topic discussed or conversed

This was usually for individual introspection

Considered a depressing, uninteresting self-conversation

Times have changed

We as world together faced

The disastrous pandemic ripping off lives

Situations Unpredictable, what more in store lies

As we see, but cannot help our family members in need

In hospitals, not knowing what condition in they might be

Whether quarantined at home or hospital

Individuals, families worrying about survival

Social distancing is the norm

Having friends, family, yet one alone faces the storm

Shortage of medications and resources

Media reports of deaths through its sources

All sorts of horrifying yet distressing thoughts one is now immersed

What would happen if the pandemic hits anyone of us first?

Then, yes, we would be faced with the worst.

Policies, rules are drawn out

Whether affected by the disease or not

Fear in its clutches, has us caught

We realize, everyone is alone

As one faces circumstances with its effects unknown

So it is, for every such problem of life

Whether a disease, trauma or strife

What to do, when you are un-able?

When the situation is uncontrollable?

The mantra is; solve it or accept it

By staying grounded with calm, while you face it.

But while in situation now

Can one think of a resolve, how?

When Winds of confusion, agitation diminish

The lights of Peace, Love, happiness we wish

Affirm positive notes, pass on healing vibes

To the mind which translates the belief it imbibes

Sending signals to our physical self

while improving aura healing oneself

Does this work, one may think

Positive belief is better than to accept to sink

Remember, Keep the light of Hope always lit

As even tough times will one day see the exit!

Cherish life with family, as you live today,

Thank God to have survived the day

To the worst you will not succumb,

But believe you will overcome

You are more than a survivor

A hero who will live to create a better tomorrow.
