Corona Poem

There’s a wild virus on the loose,

Making people loose some screws,

Diving deep into oblivion and isolation,

Segregated existences, mutually confined,

Breathing carcinogens without knowing,

Passing diseases on like confetti,

Sprinkling germs into our nostrils,

Wishing fear away of infection,

Setting mutual aid communities up

In response to inadequate measures from the top,

We seek solace in our interactions

Whilst keeping up social distance,

A new contagious world lives on,

Breaking the system, blaming the sun.
