Corvid 19 a Spell

Doom assails us here;
It consumes our today, 
It guzzles our tomorrow 
Belching what's left of us
With a rooted arrogance
That elongates the chain
Exchanging pleasure with pain!

Doom digs a malignant knife
Into the heart that holds life!
Heaven hides from our eyes
Woe fills our sighs,
The fearless are filled with tears,
The weaklings are clothed in fears;
No wall so thick, 
No conjuror's stick!
The proud yet humble,
We crumble
We fall, 
We diminish
We fade
Like a whiff of a morning mirage!
Souls throw their hands
In despair,
Bodies rot
In a gruesome lot

But wait.. 

In the distance a fading light beckons
A Saviour soon calls in a few seconds!
