A Matter of Life and Death

Covid-nineteen is no joke,
It is a global concern;
Causing servitude or yoke,
This virus we must discern.

The whole world is in panic,
Doing all to fight the threat;
Methods are systematic,
To be free from woes and fret.

World Health Organization
Is searching for a vaccine;
To combat the infection,
A ship is in quarantine.

This problem is just serious,
We should all work hand in hand;
We will emerge victorious,
Obeying the right command.

Proper hygiene is vital,
So is the immune system;
This disease is so fatal,
We should defeat this mayhem.

There must be no time to waste,
The enemy multiplies;
Everything must be in place,
So that no more patient dies.

You wrote it in 2020, yet much of what you say about COVID is still valid. Point well made, dear poet.
