Corona Virus Changed The World

How do we win?

By Vicki LucasPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

One day it all changed, things were not the same

The whole world was affected, but who was to blame

People pointing their fingers, without any care

Bringing negative feelings with negative stares

So how will we manage, what does it mean

How will we triumph, over Covid 19

The people are dying , all over the land

We cannot give hugs or hold on to a hand

Of a loved one who’s dying, we cannot be near

The world we have now is a world filled with fear

Anxiety whispered with its voice of persistence

Don’t get too close, please keep your distance

The feeling within us is to stay home and hide

But we need to get shopping, we must go outside

We put on our gloves, and some will wear masks

Just so we can complete ,the simplest of tasks

It’s tearing our countries apart like a plough

These things that we valued, they matter not now

Hold on to your families, keep your loved ones inside

Lose the anger, the hate , the fear and the pride

We must all stand together and keep ourselves strong

So the plague that threatens us, will not last so long

So stay in your house, don’t try and tempt fate

You don’t want to be thinking, I did ,but too late

Phone your friends who are lonely,

Check on those that are ill

Will we get through this?

Together we will
