Super villain

I have never seen such a supervillain in my life ,                                                        It's the novel disease, COVID-19, it's alive ,                                                    It began in China and spread worldwide ,           
A history of dry cough followed by a sore throat .                         
                                                                                                                                        It has triggered the largest global economic crisis ,                                             And lead to a drastic inequality among the countries,                                              The death toll around the world is increasing ,                                    
The cats and dogs have been infected by it.                          
                                                                                                                                  Why has this pandemic become so serious ?  ,    
We aren't keeping a distance from others,                                        Forget to clean our hands and feet ,                                                         And never forget to wear a mask on mouth .              
                                                                                                                                  How did our ancestors manage these diseases?,                                                       They sprinkle cow dung water before the house ,                               Drink neem, turmeric, lime and ginger juices ,                                           And wash their feet before entering into the house. 
                                                                                                                         The pandemic breaks hearts but opens our eyes,                                                                                                        We remember practicing our traditional methods ,                                            Life is trying to teach us something ,                                                Learning new things save us from the cruelty .
