New York City Subways Essential Workers Reality
Emotional violence is present
You need to work
But people humiliate you
Can you image
Someone videotaping you
Because they are upset
It is not easy
COVID-19 is the subway
Isolation and trauma
Anger provoked at work
Gender based violence
Men need to stop
Stress riding the subway
Questions without answers
Not workers fault
9/3/20
The Impact of COVID-19
Learning about people
Loneliness caused by COVID-19
Hold on to courage
COVID-19 disease dilemma
You have skills
Fight to live
COVID-19 took some home
Others are here
Do your work
Celebrate today
Do not let COVID-19
Take your joy
COVID-19 is a stressor
Enough with stress
No more stress
COVID-19 changes lives
Love your neighbors
Maybe you get fresh bread
New lifestyle COVID-19
Drink hot drinks
Turmeric ginger lemon tea
COVID-19 shined the light
We see clearly
People on your side
Support everyone affected
COVID-19 gave us tools
Vote for dreamers
Dreamers know rules
They know COVID-19
They understand supporters
