Ode to Corona
You have brought the whole world to its knees????
Humankind have lost their sense of peace
Sent down by a power even greater then you
To teach us a lesson or two
We realise upon reflection, ????
That Our existence depends on interaction????
That no matter who we are or what we do, ????‍♀️????‍♂️
All Our lives have halted because of you
A powerful existence yet so microscopic????
Your occurrence has been Epic ????
Within a tiny little droplet, you are nestled????
Wreaking havoc wherever you have settled
Carelessly we go about, then upon us you sneak
Mockingly you look down on us, as you reach your peak????
Affecting each one differently ????????
While characters change Uniquely
You are fearless
Rendering us, restless????
You said Stop, Listen n Protect ????
But instead we Move, Ignore and React
Mankind has loved and lost????
Even then, did our hearts become soft?
Have we realised that upon a greater being we are dependent
Or have we lost our minds and become despondent ????
Fear, doubt and  panic in number are rising
While empathy love and compassion are dying
Let us bow down our heads n pray????
For prosperity to come our way
Through distance we have to be apart????‍♀️????‍♂️
But together we can be in our hearts????
