Corona Virus

Corona virus sent to try us Unnerve Confuse deplete divide us It comes to scare it comes to kill The vulnerable the old and ill It spreads it’s panic it spreads it’s fear It’s harsh unjust mortal ,severe Dark and viscous it seeks and thrives Culling the weak ending lives Misery uncertainty you cannot comprehend Deviant Inimical it’s aim is to offend It feels like a movie it feels like a dream Locked down and scared I want to scream Fear of the doorbell fear of the street Fear of the people I once used to meet Fear for the loved ones I cannot be near Fear of the virus fear of the fear War is atrocious but the enemy’s clear But the Invisible virus will never appear It’s in the air it’s on the ground On things you touch it’s all around it seeks and finds the weak and old And suffocates until their cold It has no conscience no concerns It feeds and thrives it lives and learns Destroys and ruins breaks and hates Silently it decimates It Spreads so fast it’s hard to cope There is no cure there’s only hope It deals in death as it passes by No comfort for the ones who die Annihilation? is it’s mission It needs no help or no permission A wake of tears and misery Is the only trace it leaves to see Its pray is helpless and will not know Until it’s time for them to go Hungry for another soul It now ramps up The human cull Seas and borders no protection The world now waits for its infection A tiny mist of human breath Will make you ill or cause your death So hide away beyond detection Spare your kisses your affection Hide so you may be ok And live to fight another day Hide so there will always be A hope for our humanity It will not relent There is no cure So Stay indoors and lock your door Spare your touch and wash your hands Observe the rules advice and bans Save your kisses save your hug And we will beat this deadly bug

A wonderful poem it is David! "Corona virus sent to try us " - I agree. It is well written with the rhyme precise to the beat. "Silently it decimates It Spreads so fast it’s hard to cope There is no cure there’s only hope" The words jumped at me and speak of scary times, yet the promises of hope is a comfort. Thank you for sharing.

Hello David This is a general comment. Good to read stuff that's not pretentious, as much poetry can be. Also unusual subjects are interesting. Which is why I write them myself. Regards Alan
