Poem Title:
Poem
It's like a black cloak around our world bringing misery and death Virologists are saying " you ain't seen nothing yet" If only our leaders would look back, at how these viruses thrive They'd have got answers in history books and many would still be alive. It will soon be the norm for families each and everyday To attend funerals of loved ones who have passed away And while adults pay their respects and kneel down to pray Children will get bored and around the tombstones they'll play. Every country takes action their way and will not be told If they follow the W.H.O. 's advice more would live to be old But it's far too late now covid - 19 is thriving While we fight the virus with emphasis on surviving. Don't mix with others and steer well clear of the crowd Or it might be you that will be covered with a shroud To increase your chance of survival, ruthless you've got to be Even keeping a safe distance from your own family. Crime is now rife there's profiteering and panic buying Not enough is being done and the death toll is rising Some impliment soft measures that seem quite funny They don't care about you it's all about the money. We all need to take care singing from the same hymn sheet Or it won't be too long before the army's on the street People will get mean and desperate in order to thrive Pushing aside the weak and vulnerable who'll struggle to survive. Our health workers pushed to the limit administering care While the selfish among us strip supermarket shelves bare But others are doing good things for their fellow man No one knows if they'll get ill so do good deeds while you can. Written 21st March 2020.
