Where did you come from
How long will you stay
Creeping along silently
seeking your prey
Attacking relentlessly
subtly search
The weak and infirm
Even those who are healthy
Receive the germ
Death in your wake
Spreads panic and fear
Perplexing anxiety
A plague! Nothing’s clear
~
In this hour of time
We have pills for afflictions
If there’s a symptom
We have redemption
Opioids -the only restriction
These symptoms are new
Unrelated to previous flus?
Phantomly similar!
Extremely severe
We wish it were over
Still it is here.
~
Former days of
Unconventional routine
Have become numbered
Days of quarantine
We patiently await
Media announcements
Making it clear
We have a commencement
A brand new beginning
Without fear or dread
~
Is this fake news?
Or can it be true?
I may still wear a mask
And safe distance from you
Pausing in place
Practice good hygiene
Hoping to hear strains
From ‘The Sound of Music’
And once again
‘Begin the Beguine’
