Corona Virus

A pandemic that plagues our minds The weakest among us, it seeks and finds Nonchalant at the start, we did not care Far away from us, that is why, to be fair Then it begins to spread far and wide Across the world it’s seeds are spread Leaving many in it’s wake, sadly ill and dead To the shops we race and panic buy As little by little more and more die For my family only, and only their sake But that is selfish and a mistake Leaving some crumbs for those at the front Let’s all get together and try and debunk That Humanity is selfish and made of greed Let’s get together and help those in need Those who are on the red line trying to help us In the long run it’s the only way, so we must Helping us, by helping them Scared of illness, scared to die That shouldn’t stop us to even try Loved ones dying, heartache hard to bare It’s mostly the young, who carelessly dare Spreading this disease around unwittingly Who see the news as a joke and laugh cynically We should see the facts from those who are ahead Try to follow, but get ahead and learn instead Otherwise we will have more and more dead I’ve said it once before, and now again History will judge us, so use your brain We will only beat it, if we rise up as one So many more will wake up and see another sun

Amar bhai, reminds me of a Scotland new item. A man walked the streets spreading the disease. --not wanting to die alone, taking innocents, like a terrorist. But your poem tells us we can rise higher as humans; some on the front line are risking their lives for us. UNITE, care for the weak, share ... all Faiths teach these. salaam and shalom/ shanthi Om.
