Unwelcome Coronavirus
At a blow of the wind from nowhere no one knows
Into the realm of the unprepared spices that knows
With supremacy in technology, research, medicine and economy
You have come, to create a spot vacuum in the economy
Dismantling social interactions and halting economic flight
Our strengths accumulated as at now cannot fight
The strength of your tiny giant uproar
Defeating the goliath and having no mercy for the poor
Defends of the boarders no longer hold
Permeating the protocol with ease; you’re bold
The untouchable embraces you unnoticed
And your crown still holds as ancient kings practiced
Changing the subject of the day with flaming fear
Predictions are pinned to wishes and despair
Budgets are left on the shelves
You have taken over the world in your hives
The crowned virus launched its missile in 2019
Landed in 2020 with its name COVID-19
Silent were both the launch and landing
We were not aware of this huge landing
But the fumes emanating spread flammable fears
Pushing the adventurers into confinement in tears
Announcing its pandemic status escalates the panics
And now we isolate instead of mounting picnics
This is a war where man is not fighting man
As in the I and II wars which were from man to man
Here men in unison is fighting an indispensable enemy
The whole world has now got to be one family
But our weapons are not formed to fight and gain independence
From mighty coronavirus colonizing the entire world dependence
Our hands and lips are tied, the food factory switched to sanitizer production
Our quarantine-refugee camps are already filled with little hope of reduction
I pray, I pray, oh I pray! With much lust,
That as the sun rises and sets, the day’s dawn and dust,
Just as stars and moon appear and disappear
So shall horrific COVID-19 come to dim and demises without repair
Though at a boiling point now spreading at jaguar speed rate
It shall NEVER get humanity to evaporate
Where we shall all melt into thin air which shall never be
Oh Lord, I pray, never shall it be!
