Corona virus
How are you today?
You must be pleased
So strong you’ve grown!
Â
They say your shape
Is of a crown.
Are you a king,
Or royalty
Just an ambition?
Â
On women’s day
Meetings melt.
You’ve tamed the throngs.
Whoever in numbers meets
Kisses your feet.
Â
Forgotten Syria,
Its horrid war
And refugees.
Â
Anxiety
Has made its nest.
The other eggs
You have displaced.
Devilish cuckoo
Helpless we’ll help
To hatch your eggs.
Â
You feed the shadows
Of our lives.
Â
The flu we know
We shrug our shoulders,
We clean our nose.
To you however
we make allegiance.
How many rituals
We submit to
Just to avoid
Your sickening presence.
Â
No such gestures
To wave away
Our deadly cancers.
Because of them
No way we’ll change
Our ways of life!
Â
Instead we, puppets,
We wag our ends
Without end
To shun the end.
Â
Self-centered we stay.
People may die
Of hunger over there.
The heck we care.
Â
This is all about us
Our egos themselves
Our general body!
The essence of the clan
We want to keep
Preserved unharmed
From foreign touch.
Â
Is it our fate
to isolate?
Will we still kiss
If this goes on?
Â
Coronavirus,
What a hit!
How strong you’ve grown!
You fill our lives
You fill the news
Oh holy shit!
Just a citizen of the world, trying to listen and interact.
