The Virus

A poem about a virus hitting the world

Photo by CDC on Unsplash

What do we do? Now a virus Has hit These lands we trust.

A vulnerable time Panic-stricken Canceled events We bulk buy And hope it’s Not a trend.

The world Around us Becomes a disaster In matters We couldn’t comprehend.

Health warnings Wild and bonkers Completely At a high.

Scared and terrified, We rush around With Our groceries.

Loo roll Hand sanitizers And anything We can grab, Taking it home Fearing for The future Of what lies ahead.

Is it fear? Is it worry? Will we feel The effects As the virus Takes our bodies.

Feeling ill We cough Laying in bed Doing things Like watching tv Movies we love And anything We endure Until this virus Runs away Back Where it belongs.
