Covid 19: a Leveller

COVID 19: A LEVELLER Apocalypse! Armageddon! Ragnarok! Deadly spread of COVID 19 Caused by human misdeeds Confusion. disaster cover the land Death now becomes a reigning language Both the cause and the cure brew conflicts But can men stop transgressing on earth? COVID 19 is rife Though born in Wuhan Spread from China world over Caught all and sundry unaware Armed with deadly infection Posed to halt the world Is it possible? Coronavirus First of its kind, unexampled Travels faster than aeroplane Kills legions across bothers Will the scourge stop spreading? First time ever When all men become equal No more superiority among nations Coronavirus, a leveller beyond limits Can the world continue like this? Isolation breeds stagnation Social distancing in vogue No inter and intra trades Every entry under lock Is any nation indispensable? Hunger set to reign On African soils And other nations Where selfish leaders Are piloting the canoes Will they learn their lessons? All in confusion Fear grips the rich The poor wallop in panic Death is now cheap, ubiquitous Can the world survive the virus? Covix 19 defies faith Clergies run for cover Fellowship, Jumat outlawed Worshippers pray at home Sanctuaries turn desert No one dares touch others Can God answer the prayers? Cure vaccine not yet invented Only safey measures are here Only those agree to stay home May live to tell the story later Daily, thousands contract it Daily, hundreds die of it Is the cure feasible? May it not continue, I pray But if otherwise Keeps rearing its ugly head Hmm! if men's end imminent Can animals and plants play the roles? NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
