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.

So many theories Reggae, which you touch upon, in this amazing poem, so much truth here, yes a life style i believe we have lost to the virus, only hope, there is no worldly conflict resulting from all that is happening...

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

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.
