Would You Rather Lie Or Fight? Poem by Darlington Chukwunyere

Would you rather dine and wine,
While they come at this odd time,
Overpowering and taking charge of your kind?
Yet, and only yet, they give you a die?
Would you rather lie or fight?

They’re right here with us,
And yet, spreading thus…
Like wild fire.
Wake up from slumber
For you could help avert an impending blunder,
That has the claws of a barbed wire.
Would you rather lie or fight?

Would it not be great
If we reduce the rate?
Or better, put an end
To the raving trend
Of losing our dear ones to they
Who seem to have come to stay?
Would you rather lie or fight?
