with deep sleep seemed far-fetched

F for Feasibility

we are all fated not so much 
by any voluntary insistence 
but by order of the day
we are still shadowed
by the horrors seen on
social media

nonchalantly depicted
body bags strewn on the floor
haphazardly arranged and disarrayed
the front-liners were stressed out
exhausted and plainly 'out cold'
unsung heroes who themselves were
also haphazardly found
on the floor, couch,chairs
dozed off trying 
to catch some sleep

the desire for a respite 
left to one's own initiative
the feasibility of  being rewarded
with deep sleep seemed far-fetched

A to Z April Challenge  F
