Covid-19

Can't understand how Covid Has taken over our lives Started in Wuhan, China But some say it's a disguise To eradicate a population That the undertones defines As the count is rising So does the bogus cries Some say it's a man made disease Caused by G5 transmitters But the fast increases And mounting funeral pyres With the tally on the rise Gives me the jitters Some say its the future Some say it's liberty denied Because in a life and death situation The government controls our lives Not with rules and regulations We have to give up freedom Before the whole population dies Some say its a curse for failure Others , there is no explanation Even hidden from the wise But we keep playing with nature When it avenges in abundance The whole world cries It gives us the notion That these are perilous times With no end to the commotion To find a cure We are faced with the daily tally And an increase on the score The old bear the brunt Of that we can't deny But the young has no exemption When you hear parents cry But what of the un-recorded When they are certified In the absence of an autopsy From which we can rely Giving some certainty To verify the eye We were talking about climate change Before Covid hit the scene Now wiped from the front pages of dailys As Covid, reigns supreme.

We hope there is no conflict, but others theorising it is such, I wonder.

Thanks Jan, our safety is in the lap of the gods, just hoping fortune holds out. So much confusion right now.

A really spontaneously spot-on piece on a juicy theme of exigent literary interest. I'll spare time to delve further into your opuses. Thanks for touring my page, and leaving a few encouraging remarks!

I tried to in-cooperate the feelings of what is being conveyed. Only hope it provokes thought. Thanks for your kind comments.
