The Coronavirus Pandemic

With its big appetite Overzealous agenda To eliminate humanity COVID-19 came to our doorstep Determined to teach us a lesson It came through the door of globalization Cutting through red tapes It brought death and suffering to the house of humanity But yet again it brought a new world order We saw people locked in their homes in the name of social distancing We saw the streets empty of all the commotion of capitalism We saw the uselessness of some commonly held beliefs Our belief in a strict twelve-month calendar of events was challenged Sporting arenas were left empty Churches were closed And schools were left unattended It was a bizarre reality Even the wild animals noticed The absence of the tyrannical human race And basked at their new found freedom They left their underground lodgings And walked the streets of freedom It was a marvel to watch The sky was cleared of human pollution And the birds celebrated Even the healing powers of mother earth was restored As we watched her sewing close a gigantic ozone hole in a matter of days It was beyond belief To hold time in our own hands And spend our days with own families Coronavirus pandemic may be humanity's worst nightmare But it's a blessing in disguise It's time to fold our old ways of looking at life And embrace the directive of a new world order Where working at home is a reality And spending time with family is encouraged It's time to review our money driven visions, missions and goals And give much attention to quality of life It's time to eradicate poverty And find a cure for every disease It's time for governments to step up And start taking care of their people It's time for capitalism To work for all of humanity Not just for the one percent It's time for inequality to be buried six feet under And a new sense of human relations erected Where love, peace and equality are the cornerstones It's time for all of humanity to unite under one roof Regardless of gender, race and creed And write a new charter of rights and freedoms It's time for us to prepare for the next pandemic It's time for us to put humanity ahead of our individualistic and materialistic agenda ©
