During This, After This Poem by Babalola Jubril

What will really happen?
When this period ends?
What's happening to the world right now?
I am really worried,
During this pandemic, what's happening?
After this pandemic, what will happen?

Questions are bursting my mind,
Having a stomach ache,
Is not really enough,
Until my brain tells me the answer,
To those burning Questions,

People are dying,
Poverty lives here before,
Along with high rate of unemployment,
Vices, Corruptions, that are uncontrollable,
Find a space in the heart of our people,


The mental health of our people,
At a greater risk,
Fear resides in the heart of many,
Worries, that will never leave the mind,
Where is it coming from?
Is it from you or me?
Have i really met him before?
Does he lives in me before?
What's this virus?

Questions are growing rapidly,
What will happen to my family?
If i was infected,
They will leave me alone,
Depression will live in my heart,
Hunger will reside in my stomach,
Hunger will reside in their stomach,
My children! My Husband! or My wife,
Worries that will never leave the heart,
During the pandemic,

The world is at a greater risk,
The economy is at its extreme,
Can't grow but remains constant,
Can't remain constant but under secrete,

Vices everywhere,
No job, No investment,
Hunger virus will strike after,
The world will be in a worst situation again,
That will take a decades to recover,

Stand and fight the pandemic,
Together! We can do this,
During this, let's fight together,
After this, let's unite,
And never separate again,
Then,
The world will be a better place to live.
