Dear Coronavirus (Aka Covid 19)

You are a pest Coming into my own space To wreak havoc and declare war You do not have time for diplomacy You're actual messing around with diplomats You have gathered your children And displaced mine With your toxic hands You have travelled thousands of miles Spreading your reckless death threats into all corners of the world Your appetite is immense You're causing a lot of fear and panic with your eating habits Your favourite meal is our lungs You know you are hurting us dearly By chopping slices of our flesh with your ugly mouth And killing our dear friends and loved ones In your murderous spree You are a formidable foe But we will continue to fight you And kill your children You will lose It's just a matter of time Stay away from my home And stay away from my face and my neighbour's face You flesh eating monster You terrify me But I am not giving up I will listen and obey all the precautionary requirements I will do my part to protect my fellow human beings I will do social distancing even if it means not drinking my favourite beer at my favourite spot I will do it I will avoid crowded places and restrict my interactions with my friends It hurts but I will do it I will screen myself daily And self-quarantine if needs be I will seek help whenever necessary I will inform my family and my neighbour about your careless ways I will even tell my nanny and my children to wash their hands often I will cover my mouth with my elbow when I cough or sneeze Because I don't want to spread your malicious children I will be vigilant and pray for my nation and the world at large One day we will celebrate your defeat We will gather in our favourite spots And enjoy our favourite sports Drinking our favourite beers We will rejoice than never before And we will bury you deeper than any other creature before you We will learn and adapt accordingly and you shall never return And I shall write poems about you Not to berate you But to narrate our story Humanity's courageous battle Our defeat and our victories Will be displayed In our galleries and libraries For our children's children To know the true meaning of humanity ©
