Like a thief at night it came,
Infecting races and populace
From unscrupulous politicos
To ordinary masses
Spreading like wildfire
The dreaded pandemic.

Countries closed borders,
Fears and panics triggered
Because a spiky little virus
From the roads of Wuhan
Conspired against humans
Snatching life from the mortals

Hide your breathes beneath the
masks,
No handshakes and no close marks
Greet your friends a distance apart
Stay at home and wash those hands
Let's await the beautiful day
When this virus shall be wiped away!
