Covid, I Hate You

Covid, I Hate You

Covid I hate you!
You ravish and take whom you please
Leaving only destruction and fear
Picking and choosing at random

Covid, I hate you!
Isolating generations in need of company
Seizing the very organs within your victims
Young, old, in between, you care not

Covid, I hate you!
Preying on the very air one breaths
Scattering your vicious deadly self as a ghost
Killing the very ones fighting to save others

Covid, I hate you
Sneaky and leaving each to only shadow box
Waiting for any minute break to invade
Strangling the life out like weeds and vines

Covid, I hate you
Soon we will rise and defeat you
We will drive you where you cannot hide
God will not let you win, your time is near.

I enjoyed your poem, but the end won't be near until we run out of idiots! Aloha! Rico
