Alas, a Pandemic On Earth

Alas! A pandemic on earth; Spread over the earth like a counterpane And feasts with no respect for personality. Has the end come? What manner of pandemic is this That humiliated the world powers And buried the head of idolised humans? Has the end come? Alas! A pandemic on earth. The rich live in fear; The proud ones became wingless. Has the end come? What shall I do to protect myself against thee? Shall I turn hand washing to ritual? Shall I humble myself before the creator? Has the end come? Alas! A pandemic on earth Whose effect will soon become history And trigger man to prepare his life's account. Has the end come?
