In Times Like These
Well I wouldn't have thought in the year twenty nineteen
When we'd start dropping like flies to something unseen
Will we ever know honestly where Corona started from
Sadly it's not like we can send it back to where it belongs
As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months
China, South Korea release figures, so many lives lost
News from around the world filters, Corona now shows
You start to get a feeling that this virus will never exhaust
It was just a matter of time that this Corona appeared here
Passed by our relaxed borders it was just a matter of time
On this world where we stay this easy to traverse sphere
Viewing the media daily, sadly we see deaths figure climb
We enter into a lock-down as this Corona Chaos grows
Epidemic now Pandemic as economies begin to slow
Sadly, panic buying excels, seeing greed angrily sought
Allowing selfishness to breed, it's not what we were taught
I'm thankful my family and I have so far escaped Corona
Guidelines we've followed closely allowing us to breathe
Reading how it affects leaves a shiver down ones spine
Not to be a statistic for our families and friends to grieve
To look at what's happened as we look to our tomorrows
Is to see people reacting differently, no more pitiful greed
In the hoping Governments unite for the sake of us all
To rid us of Corona Chaos so it can no longer feed.
