Virulence of Corona
A sudden wildfire engulfs the world.
Ephemeral flames keep burning untamed.
Contagious fumes mire a cerulean spring,
as flying creepy carriers spread a turmoil.
Virulent pathogens entering airway of lungs
behind veil of common cold, stares Death.
Fragile sick vessels can't battle pneumonia,
hijacking cells , sieges a dangerous Corona.
No armaments to fight an army miniscule,
helpless kingdoms, are we powerful humans?
Visages hide in hysteria of harrowing masks,
panic begging kindness, from unseen parasites.
An invisible Godzilla empties crowded streets,
as scrubbing soaps wash handshake greets.
Return us our old days of contagious laughter.
Twinkle in those smiles, once called infectious.
Sick of a fortress life , wearied of quarantine pain,
let's live hand to mouth, oh rich! make poor again!
Coughing and Sneezing, spare a nightmare of Flu
Let us breathe in unison again...
a fearless hug saying, "I love you".
