Covid Survival

COVID Survival 
He came knocking at every door,
No one knew what he had in store.
Many were ready to fight tooth and nail, 
But sadly there were others who did not prevail.
How cruel he was to those who did not take heed,
Who chose to ignore the warnings base on greed.
Many countries did everything that was right,
So from them he had to pack and take flight.
How brilliant were the plans they had in place,
Even as  he was staring them straight in the face.
The people united and would not bow nonetall,
They stood their grounds and survived it all.
Every trap he laid! every disguise ,
People laughed him to scorn for they were wise.
And when news of his return spread far and wide, 
They were armed for battle on every side. 
Masks were in place and sanitization all round,
Resilience was strong anywhere people were found.
So hail to the masses who strongly resisted, 
No matter how hard COVID persisted, 
And today as he is put on trial, 
We salute you all ,heroes of COVID survival.
