Uncertainty (Covid-19 Outbreak) Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It's hard to think
When you are inside the house of uncertainty
Every moment is fully loaded with questions
Every hour brings with it both hope and despair
Every day is bathed with gigantic numbers of people dying
Every week is punctured by the incoming numbers of new infections
It's hard to think
When everything you touch is potentially a lethal dose of coronavirus
Everywhere you go brings you closer to the epicentre of the outbreak
Every point on earth is potentially contaminated
Every case brings you back to the drawing board
Every news hour is painted with sorrow
Every newspaper is full of covid-19 news
Every economic forecast is bloated with hopelessness
It's hard to think
When you have children sitting at home
When you are a single mother
When you are a breadwinner
When you are small business owner
When you are dependent on the streets for your survival
It's really hard to think
