Covid-19 In Wuhan

Like a storm, it came unexpected 
COVID-19 attacked relentless
With fear and confusion drawn on faces
Wuhan prepares for complications

People are dying, families are grieving
The coronavirus, is unforgiving
I ask myself how this had happened
The answer was not a satisfaction

Eatting a bat was stupid and dumb
But someone decided that it was fun
They birthed a pandemic, a new cause of death
No defence nor apology will put this to rest

The city of Wuhan, the very first victim
Currently on lockdown, not knowing what hit them
How scared and how worried the people must be
Being trapped in a cage, with no way to flee

If only the leaders had heeded the call
No pandemic would’ve happened, no pandemic at all
Covering the truth with warnings and threats,
The results for their actions, the consequences they met

With people on lockdown and movement restricted
Wuhan is suffering for their very action
If only the leaders were less of dictators
The situation would’ve been different, it would’ve been better.
