The Fight of Breath

"The pandemic that turned the world upside down"

Achoo! Bless you

Turned to stay away, thank you

Street empty, cities slept

Suffering world wept and wept

No cars or trains in sight

No planes in flight

Started as symptoms of common cold

What was in store was far from what was told

The winds are filled with cries and despair

People are ready to give anything just for clean air

Locked inside and nowhere to go

Nature from friend became a foe

Mask up and clean hands

Noone dared to go meet friends

Millions lost the battle trying to breathe

Graveyards filled with thousands of wreaths

Noone around to hold hands in the last days

Thousands lay around while the body decays

Will we be back to normal, it is hard to say

The infection is adamant and is here to stay

Our frontliners face it head on

Mask free days and party days are long gone

Be hopeful everyone says

Gone are the days when children ran freely in the suns rays

Emptiness and fears fill the air

The heavens in the sky is now filled with prayer

Help! I am in pain

How bad will this get, please someone explain

Hospitals and care facilities out of space

People are terrified to even touch their face

This sinister organism flies through the air

Damages the body beyond repair

Separation, isolation impending doom

Forget funeral rites, bodies are thrown in the tomb

People who were hopeful to see the next day

May be fighting or even be dead today.
