The straw shield
#WritcoPoemChallenge
#CoronaVirus
The days too eventually fell silent,
No sounds, not even by the crows,
All you could hear was the sound of,
Fear knocking on the doors,
The knocks grew heavier each time,
until they rang like hoof thuds,and
the walls of our bravery began to die,
a single crack became twenty,and
down fell our mental Jericho walls.
We know visitors when we see one,
but Corona was worse of an intruder,
no space left unshredded with its gun,
and sorry that,the shield the Nations
had United to buy,was just meer straw,
it burnt.
