Corona Virus Covid-19
Dear Covid-19,
Life was a rainbow till you came and replaced the chirping of happy birds, the laughter with our families and friends with the wailings of the ambulances’ siren
The swing on our playgrounds is swung only by the winds and storms
And death has unmasked himself, knocking bodly on every door
We are fed with fears whilst our thirst is quenched by our own tears in which we are drowned
You are chanted in the daily lamentations of the widow, the dirge of the orphan, and the screams and griefs of the widower.
So,
I sit in my house, kneeling and praying that you become a past tense
Lost in the history of time, defeated by humankind
As we relight our rainbows
Dancing again to the happy chirping that announced every dawn.
From a concern human
