Rays Bright On The Channel's End Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

I felt
The angel of death had drawn neigh
Me untimely to hug
With COVID-19 positive tag
When a nurse and a police
Ventured to a quarantine me to drag.

Regretfully, the leniency "No!
The pandemic me will not mark
To me, there and then, became stark."

After I underwent
A gruesome psychologicaland
Languishing physical moment
Estranged from my dear children
And loving wife
Health professionals, backed by
A responsible government
Anddoting society,
Nursed me back to life.

"Cling to life
As blooms yellow loosestrife.
Our health is fine
Soon the same will be true with thine! "
Was what I read from the eyes of
The recuperated,
Allowed to leave the quarantine.
To me such clicks brought to light
On the channel's end
The presence of rays bright.

So as the recuperated
My advice
Is "Pay not unnecessary price!
True to
'Preventionis better than cure! '
In Covid-19' era
Recklessness must not you lure! "
