The Coronavirus Scourge
By Dorothy Leevy
From Wuhan it sprang causing pain and fear
Bringing death and destruction too painful to bear
Boundaries it crossed in such quick time
Proving life to this virus is not worth a dime
Prince, Prime Minister and health worker
No one is spared, not Preacher , not Pastor
Directives given we must obey
That virus must be kept away
Wearing of masks we must not shun
Endangering others is not fun
Six feet from others we must not scorn
Or friends and relatives many lives will mourn
No hugging , no kissing , we must obey
Lest the virus with its tentacles claw its way
Into our bodies there to multiply
Our antibodies to defy
Body pains and fever take days to pass
Air cannot flow through lungs made of glass
It's a state more damning than Steve Hawkins black holes
Causing pain and torment to poor souls
From the East should come great wisdom and light
Not chaos and death and on earth a blight
From the East we are told the Wise men came
To worship the Saviour and to praise His name
Let us with praises follow their lead
Their Faith and Hope we need indeed
To destroy this scourge we must all fight
Praying and hoping we'll soon see the light
