Coronavirus the Movie

Just what you’ve 
been waiting for
Coronavirus the movie.
First let the truth be told 
coronavirus is taking out 
the young and the old.
Babies to Senior citizens.
Celebrities, Royalty,
and World Leaders.
Anybody and everybody’s 
prone.
Part of the cure
is to stay at home.

Hollywood couldn’t wait
A Movie series staring 
people from around the world.
Self-Quarantine has become 
the new way of life.
Social Distancing
has people coming together.
From NYC to Italy
people are singing
from the balconies.
This is not that kind of war.
They'll be no visit
from the Valkyries.

As we are praying for a cure.
New York City’s Broadway 
is a ghost town.
And yet, spring breakers
are living it up on the beach.
If and when they can.
I hope they understand 
Anything breathing can get it.
People are lining up 
for Supermarkets 
with empty shelves.
Restaurants if they’re open,
they are take out only.

The advertisement sounds 
and Movie trailer sounds
just like this:
I heard it started with a bat,
or Could it have been 
a pig farmer
with no plans to wash his hands?
Or was it a city executive
with a fever and sore throat
Well it started with someone.
And right now everyone
can get it.
More than the baffling 
curiosity for modern medicine.
As doctors and nurses 
are not immune.
A cure for the coronavirus
can't come to soon.
Spreading faster than gossip, 
more dangerous 
than a forest fire.
A powerful pandemic
Coronavirus the movie.

If you’re looking for 
Hollywood’s
Ten Commandments 
special effects.
Then check out
COVID-19 in 3D
(It’s a must see)
