Edward Ibeh Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

Death To You, Corona

Not the beer, of course!

  Death to you, Covid-19
        Mass-murderer
Coward in hiding, festering,
  attacking surreptitiously
       Sucker-punching
       Men and women, 
        young and old.
  Babies and animals, too.
   I bet you hate puppies!
         Shame on you
    throwing poison darts
     at people in the dark!
      Come into the light, 
       you monster you!
   Is it because you know 
         your ugly mug
        is good enough 
           for decking?
    Die off soon, evil one.

Panagiota Romios May 6, 2020 at 10:25 AM Sorry, it is not going away like a rainy day. They just mutate and will be back Pneumonia and the regular flu has killed far more last year. PRR Edward Ibeh May 6, 2020 at 1:06 PM Unfortunately, you're right, Panagiota:-( I just hope we'll be much better prepared for phase 2! Stay safe out there, friend!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 5, 2020 at 8:00 PM I sense this was a wholly cathartic write, got the blood pumping just reading it. xomo Edward Ibeh May 6, 2020 at 1:04 PM Yep, I had to blow off some steam, lol. Thanks for the visit, Maureen:-) Stay safe out there, my friend!

Tania Kitchin May 5, 2020 at 5:57 PM Nicely done Ed, I hope it does die off soon but I think it may be around for way too long! Edward Ibeh May 5, 2020 at 6:26 PM Thank you, Tania:-) Unfortunately, people not using common sense(crowding the beaches, protesting stay-at-home without wearing masks) will prolong the life of this virus:-(
