Covid 19 Cloaked and Frightening

Young and Free Cautioned By Corona Suburbs' worst imaginings bombard a squinting comprehension Suspended events filter faith, panic permeates a stoic psyche Supporting mangroves supply a scurry of wood and honey Stalking forested in silence, disguised tiger virus strikes Copious having emulates control, clean habits embellish hope - confuse attack delivered in cat's leaping momentum Claw marks puncture tree trunks above human reach Clamp of lung hunting jaws extend fear's flowing venom Composure dwells in tree top homes with horizontal floors Enclosure quells ferocious flu's ravenous rampant climb Experts step on striped skins, formulate widespread immunity Common ritual gatherings exchange memories of a gruelling time
