Doctor Li Poem by Ojok Isaac

That year 2019
Doctor Li talked of a virus
And his mouth was tied with ropes

He was a doctor but arrested
Because it's not good to cause fear among people
But he talked of a virus, and he was a doctor

Soon the ravenous virus started killing
And the state realized he was right
It was a new deadly virus in Wuhan in China

And it was too late for the country and the world
To put everything under control
And he died of the same virus

"A healthy community should not
have only one voice"
Then he rested peacefully in his death bed

But this must be remembered
Since his words could have saved
Those who died of COVID 19
