REFLECTIONS ON COVID-19

 

By Sharon Ayanfe Afolayan

Corona virus! Covid-19! Coro-pandemic 

You're sweeping people away like flood

And hunting the world for human souls

Attacking mankind by force, by trick

Killing in thousands like insects  with snipper

You're the devil that acts as a friend

The global invisible enemy of mankind

When you visit a man or woman or child

You come with cough and cold and fever

You come with pains and other illnesses

You were born in China, in City of Wuhan 

You studied in Italy to earn degrees

You got a job in the US  and launched your rampage

And invested also in Africa to spread your trade

But never by the mercy of God you'll never succeed

Oh Corona, the great and mighty COVID-19

We don't want you again and never in our midst

Pack your load and go before the wrath of God descends.
