''covid 19''



O Strange, strange and strange!
Like masked Aliens
Dropped down
From a scattered sky

You came tearing the world
Like a bat out of hell

Falling fever
Like ice-storm
Block the nostril

Consuming fire flying free
Like owl
Shaking the body
Like earthquake
Swallowing hundreds, thousands...

A strange visitor, unannounced
Pregnant with a virus
Is passing by
Carrying tankers
Of communicable disease
Cut down like a broken bridge

Oceans of tears
Drown the world
With weeping
With mourning

Forcing the human race
Into house incarceration

COVID 19
The pandemic disease TERRORIST
Fought with harmless weapons

Weapons of
Lockdown
Washing of hands with soap
Use of alcohol-based sanitizers
Social distancing
Use of mask and hand gloves

The world is waiting!
Waiting!
Waiting!
Waiting for vaccines
And drugs

To disarm this virus weed
Eating up the human race
Like a merciless vampire in the air

But soon, soon, very soon,
The world shall conquer
The world shall flush
This virus away
Into the empty gutters
Of obliterating Oblivion
