One Deadly Pathogen

Cars were humming People were bustling around These things happened All year round. We lived in blissful ignorance Of the deadly pathogen But when it roared to life 'twas chaos all around. The world shut down No one moved around anymore Except for one pathogen You guessed it right - Covid-19. While we were in our houses Cowering in fear This malicious spirit prowled the land Covered the sky, spread in the sea. It travelled around the world with glee Now, normal our life was not to be. Somehow, it found many of us Dug into our skin Didn't spare our mind Nor our life. It is unwilling to end this strife It is unwilling to give us respite It wants the whole world to itself Which shows us its selfish self. But it is evil and we are good We can do anything if we are in the mood So a vaccine will be knocking soon With a smile as bright as the shining moon.
