"We Are The Music"
A poem inspired by my time being an essential worker during the pandemic.
We are the music, we are the song
We are the instruments that play along
We are the drums that keep up the pace
And we hold the line like we’re playing bass
Our moods are like the rhythm that comes from a guitar
And our voices are the lyrics that give context to our song
We come in different ways and work in all different places
Like the genres, that ultimately all come from the same place
I scan your groceries, like a nurse scans your brain
Someone in Home Goods just sold you a lampshade
A teacher tries their best to just keep up the pace like a student just starting to learn bass
Some are like musicians who have seen it all before and others who don't know what they are in for
We are the music, we are the song
We are the symphony that rolls this pandemic along
