CORONA No More
Rhylee Suyom has hopped in three different worlds: the academe, the corporate, and the media. He enjoys being with nature and his family.
CORONA No More
The invisible one, taking precious lives without signal
Sudden deaths and loss, sudden stops, fast terminal
A scare of epic proportions, one which has gone global
Wish I had a time machine, a jump afar off portal
Empty roads, empty shelves void of alcohol and food
Zombie apocalypse? Nope! Pinatubo eruption? No good!
All bare, no one on the streets, a scared neighborhood
God may have punished us from our evil priesthoods
Panic kills and boredom does as well to all
I have counted the crevices of my bare-naked wall
Digital nomads think they can earn from this ‘fall’
But I haven’t heard from a client, not a single call!
Oh! please let this ‘cup’ pass from us if You will
I'll spend more time with my kids, than with wheels
Promise to tuck them to bed and teach them to ‘kneel’
Promise to see my family, cheer them with a thrill!
