-Uncertainty

In 2019 a Pandemic they said
Our world was turned around
Countries closed their borders
Life was in lockdown

Life as we knew it 
Was about to change
In a very drastic way
This unrelenting virus
Was determined to destruct and stay 

Rules and restrictions 
Were set in place
Wash your hands
Keep your distance
Wear a mask on your face

This virus found the vulnerable
Who were unable to win the fight
Completely running rampant 
A helpless, sorrowful plight

Confusion and uncertainty 
Engulfed all mankind
Panic, fear, apprehension
Consumed every mind

This virus was named Covid 19
It was highly contagious
In order to win this battle
We required a powerful Vaccine 

Scientists worked tirelessly
But knew it was a challenging quest 
To conquer this unstoppable virus
And put it to rest

Our planet continued to be in chaos
There seemed no end in sight
No change, no hope, no help
The future was not bright
 
Months passed by
Into a year
There was word of a vaccine
But it was yet to appear

Finally there comes the day
Covid 19 Vaccine
Was on its way

Optimism and enthusiasm 
Filled the atmosphere
While tiny viles were shipped 
Far and near

Covid 19 Vaccinations have started
But it is going to  take some time
Before our world returns to normal
And covid 19 becomes benign
