Seeds of Change

scare of coronavirus is far from over
it's rapid mutation, no easy pushover
we stay at home and pray.

a cure or vaccine will take more time to firm up
scientists across globe doing best to make up
all waiting for that day.

all healthcare workers are fighting hard to save lives
governments are pushing hard for containment drives
economies astray.

masks and social distancing are now new normals
work from home are fast replacing office formals
seeds of change sown today.

Congratulations Mohan! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest, due to the demands of this form of poetry I was very strict, making it a difficult contest to judge, very well done my friend, Emile.
