Boundless Minds
With the firmament gone dark;
She slouches with greedy claws;
Her proboscis piercing our lungs;
She devours humanity for sport;
Her mention sends trepidations;
And sets hearts into palpitations
Yes…she is the ugly coronavirus!
No, we shan’t sing your song;
Your sister Ebola tried too but…
It is for you that borders close;
That Shrines shrink;
That Schools mute;
That Markets yawn;
That Poverty bites.
You fool, many fools have tried before you and lost!
You gnaw lives with greed;
In your tracks lie gazillions of lifeless bodies;
Of the old and young, rich and poor…
You plant gardens of orphans;
You ugly fiend!
Together humanity shall castrate you;
Like the Israelites defied Pharaoh;
With God, we shall sail through;
The Milky Way shall smile again;
What doesn’t drown us only strengthens us;
Corona, Be not proud!
