Covid 19

You are a queen like a piece in a chess,
You can move all around with so much ease.
Diagonal, horizontal, and yes
Even vertical you can roam with please.

Pawns, rooks, knights, bishops and the king can't move;
You move along from here and there, and groove.
Pawns shiver, rooks are glued and knights are cold.
Protecting the king, bishops' heads are bowed.

You capture pieces, put the board in mess.
You take some knight and pawns and make them less.
But rooks are rukhs and can't just stand in place,
And bishops are full and can give them grace.

Yes, the king's power has taken aback,
But his soldiers will forever combat.
You are a queen with powers hard to crack,
But you can't make the board takes off its flat.
