Covid War - Ink

To conquer the kingdom, vainly he tried
Her minutest army ready for siege
Oh, the flying flu booming like a phage
Begging on his knees, for kindness he cried.



(The struggle between human and nature written in the backdrop of Corona Virus threat )

Thank you for sharing your thoughts in verse Jenish There is too much fighting everywhere in the world. Perhaps this virus will make us all think more about the welfare of each other and less about ourselves.

In the USA, the panic is palpable, egged on by the Democrats, who are using it as political fodder against Trump---and he deserves what he's getting, as he refused to jump on the problem... Don't really know what to believe. Everything here, even disease, is a political football now. Thanks, Gershon

Political football is everywhere.. They connect everything to politics.. Sad realities well said, my friend..
