Entitled-Dear Corona

Dear Corona,
Our minds you chained
Confined with pains
Are we insane?
Because ours tears drop like a rain
You don't know Chiefs or saints
All is vulnerable, even those who cannot pay their rents

Dear Corona,
The views from Televisions and Radios
Indicate and orate that the world needs a savior
So if it is our deeds and our behaviors
Please forgive us to prevail, we promise to reflect on our scenarios
To correct the incorrect
Bridge the unbridged
And live a life free from greed, oppression, corruption, and marginalization of a whole for a sections selfish progression
To be replaced with the recognition of the supreme being through devotion for man's salvation

Dear Corona,
Our minds are shackled
Asking, when will u settle?
So should I shout, pause or still say a little?
Just take a huddle and look at us
Is like we are in a jungle
Don't know where to face
Everything is jumble
Wobble and fumble
You kill aunties and uncles
We still searching for solution like Google
Washing hands, masking like welders and their googles
Just because we want our lives  to taste again like apples

Dear Corona
Everyday we think and run for our lives
Jus like prey and predators
Making different sounds as if we are generators
Citing and writing, hear the voice of the orators
If you kill all, the world will be sort of narrators
To narrate to generations unborn and give indicators
To guide and serve as protectors

Dear Corona,
Your intrusion is like a test but also like a fight
That's how I sight from all sides
A challenge to know whether nuclear pride nations with their  nuclear weapons, armories of dragons, bombs of atoms, and well made medication like lagoons, could overcome your intrusion.

Dear Corona,
You have proven to be powerful and we accept to be powerless
Even nuclear pride nations are becoming orderless
You make many fatherless
and motherless
And if you continue, many shall become homeless
Tears will drop until we are tearless
Is your course because we are mannerless, shameless or aimless?
Do you want to sense us because we've proven senseless?
Please Corona the world don't have much time, so we are timeless

Italy is struggling
The death toll in Spain is rising
America of all is still whispering
United Kingdom is king-doming all plans but still Corona keeps intruding
China seems to be comforting but many are still isolating
Africa whose survival relies on the west is suffering
So corona!
When will the world start celebrating?

Our soldiers cannot stop you
Navy cannot guard us against you
And even our scientists still struggle to cure you
Identify yourself, who are you?

So go back the way you come
Make it once, don't be on and off
When going; don't bomb, don't last card, and don't arrest, just go soft
Don't forget to on the social fabric because it has been off, since you make life tough

Dear Corona,
We really try
So hear our cry!
Hear our cry!
And hear our cry!
