The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Corona Virus

HEY YOU DEADLY VIRUS! What have you done to the world?
You came in like a hungry wolf
We are shattered because of you
You made our governments create new rules
People are locked inside their houses with weary looks
Wondering what to eat and planning on their next moves

Thousands and even millions have died
Others are lucky to have survived
People are fearing for their own lives
The worst is yet to come is what they imply
Our money banks have become dry
COVID, our lost has become your PRIDE

Getting isolated is becoming the new norm
Curfews has made us feel bored
Overseas visitors are locked/quarantined like scary dogs
School students and church goers are banned and become lost
Social gatherings are no more, including sports
Hardworking employees have lost their hard earned jobs

Walking around the almost empty town like a zombie
Wondering what has happened to everybody
Faces covered with masks and different coloured clothings
Gloves are being worn- Police with hailers giving warnings
Maintain two meters apart from everyone 
Coz you might get infected by Dearest Mr. COVID

Thank you dear COVID for teaching us a lesson
Life has to move on; no matter what happens
This trying times has made us stronger
We've learned to live with whatever life has to offer
Bonds in our JERUSALEMS are strengthened
Planting of so long barren lands have become our passion
