The Ambush

Normal day
Streets flocked, activities everywhere
People in pairs
Smiley faces here and there

No fear
Everyone is confident
The unknown, the prominent
Dependant and the independent

No limits
Freedom is the word
Except for the Wild
A perfect definition for world

Drastically
Things started changing
People were just falling
And having difficulty  breathing

Contagious
It spread very fast
The infected did not last
Within no time they turned into a past

Containment
But it was already too late
The world just waited for its fate
Hope was the only sure bet 

Surprise 
The virus came in a rush
People had no time to dash
It was an ambush
