To Me In This Time You Have Become Much More Dear (Sicilian Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

My mind soul and body feels bare
while the world do about a virus worry
and for it's spreading no one is sorry
while in the virus is everywhere

where no one did for this thing prepare
but scientists try to draw to them glory
and this must be a very sad kind of story
where in this deeply I do for you care,

to me in this time you have become dearer
and locked-down lost are most of our liberty
while we do about death everywhere hear
and this way of existence is not living to me
while many people are full of great fear
while we are admit a national emergency
