Corona

Everything's coming up dead roses

March is like five months too long


Spring is no longer a time in the sun

But hiding away from it


The corona another name for the sun

Is coming up like flowers but not to enhance life

But they say to remove it


Corona rises in the East like the sun

And this time East meets West

But with shouting matches on who started it first


Children play not outside under the sky

But under watchful parents eyes


Everyone is a stranger but more deadly

Hugging mom can get you in hospital


World governments scurrying around with hopes of vaccines and incentives

To stay on national lockdowns


The real sun’s real corona is about life

The birds fly and the oceans wash ashore

And the rain falls down from above

And love will save us all from

CORONA
