The Outlandish Outbreak:Covid-19

THE OUTLANDISH OUTBREAK {COVID-19} The world seems to be fading To black, ever since Corona's arrival; Could it be the end of time Or this is just another La Llorona's rival? There is no sun outside today, Could life be mourning For 'tis coming to a halt As the night does before the morning? The formidable takes over the world, And the infected hoping to get cured Devours bullets—bullets for pills And even combatants have run out of skills. No vaccines? Stick with the prevention And we might need a divine intervention Before COVID-19 ruins us all As we waste our days with wake-up calls. Pledges to air filters, gloves and face masks Cleanliness, the king to handle these tasks; Touch not your face Or you fall from grace, Handshakes be forbidden like we have what it takes To battle this disease With our lives at stake. Why should the world end this way? With venom among the senile and youths, With scarcity and fear, And unfairness everywhere. And if we'll all end up dead, Remember what the sages said, Life is not our creation And everything happens according to fate. @POET_AY March15th. ©2020.
