In this world distraught, we face a plight,
A silent invader, lurking, out of sight,
An invisible foe, spreading everywhere,
A viral fire, consuming, causing despair.
A microscopic force, a formidable fight,
Testing our courage, both day and night,
With no discrimination, it takes its toll,
From young to old, in its relentless role.
It travels swiftly on each restless breath,
Infiltrating our homes, unyielding, it crept,
It knows no borders, crossing nations with ease,
Uniting the world, in an unexpected unease.
We wage this battle with masks on our face,
Standing strong together, each in our place,
From healthcare heroes on the frontline,
To ordinary people, who stay confined.
Our once bustling cities, now hushed and still,
Empty streets mourning, an eerie chill,
As we practice distance, in solitude we yearn,
For the day when the virus meets its stern.
But in the midst of darkness, a flicker of light,
Hope arises, shining through the night,
Scientists toil, seeking a remedy,
A vaccine to conquer this viral enemy.
As we reflect on priorities anew,
The virus teaches lessons, both old and true,
That unity prevails, when we stand as one,
That our humanity shines, when hardships have begun.
So let us support each other in this plight,
With kindness and compassion, shining bright,
For together we will rise, stronger and free,
From the clutches of this virus, we will decree.
