The Corona Virus
I wrote this after it change my life to this sad existence

The Corona Virus
The corona deep fills many hearts with fear. I fear for myself and those I love. The reason that I fear for myself is that I catch everything that’s going. I had a theory, and until today, I have kept it to myself. So now let’s throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Coronavirus, I think it was man-made and said so last week. I think it was made to wipe out an enemy fast in a high-power war of fast fat cats. It may have been aimed at those who fight. Somehow, this virus hit out into the open air, and like a demon, it shadowed and attacked its first victim. From there on, it gained power, growing, traveling faster than Popeye could open a can of spinach. Maybe it was aimed to win a war; without dropping names, only the slowest would not understand who and what I mean. No, not made by America either.
So now we sit, do nothing but wait for a vaccine to end this horrible situation. We also need to remember panic buying; it will not save the next victim. It makes things a whole lot worse. Also, germs spread on things like shopping trolleys and door handles, along with money. These are ways this virus can and will attack. We need to now hope and pray like never before that a solution to kill this demon is found faster than fast. We need to hope we will be lucky enough not to be in its grasp.
Our government, however, also needs to close our doors to people coming in from other countries fast. Protect us and our children. The virus is sneaky and fast-moving. As my dad used to say, everything is written in stone; if our name is on it, we get it. Anti-bacterial hand washes and toilet roll panic buying are just not going to be enough. Toilet rolls? Ok, our nose may run, but our bums will stay clean. Yuk. Yet we live in hope that tomorrow a solution will be found to stop and kill this killer bug.
We can’t run; we cannot hide. However, we need to try and be alert to our actions. By that, I mean make a safe plan and try to stick to it. No hugging people we meet or golden handshaking. Kissing is a no-no too. Protect yourself. Nail down the hatches as our country and the world get ready for a tough ride. Someone in a science lab, help us to find a solution to return this demon warrior back to where it was born. We can’t see it as it grows and sneaks up on us, but we can be aware that corona is a killer. Stay safe.
We all fear it, and it has arrived at the time of year when the common end-of-winter colds and viral infections are doing the end-of-winter run. We are told to self-isolate for at least 14 days unless you experience breathing difficulties. I myself have a viral infection I caught from my daughter; she had been tested as just a normal winter viral bug. I am still very frightened of where this alone can go, as I always end up with the chest infection bit of it.
So I live in hope that this time in two weeks or less, I will be feeling better. My husband is now moving into our spare bedroom. One good thing is I get my big king-size bed all to myself.
Its now May 28th 2025 My Life has dramatically, andchanged for the worse. I can’t walk properly, so seldom leave my home. I sleep 3 to 4 hours tops My eyes are terrible foggy tired all the time. I have no confidence anymore. I am praying to get better every night. My only enjoyment is my poetry. Thank you for reading this. Every words 100% true ❤️💔❤️

So sad It was so horrible Thankfully god save us
So sorry to hear about what has happened to you, Maire. COVID caused untold damage to many, many people. I also believe that it was a virus that was mutated by human selection, having the worst elements to give to these viruses. I have written about viruses in my series Clever Little Buggers ( 3 parts). You have talked lately about giving up on your poetry or moving away from vocal. My advice, for what it is worth, is to hang in there. The value that it gives you mentally and emotionally is worth much more than not having it. 💗
Very good work 👏
