Any death diminishes,
One less of our humanity,
Whether remote or personal,
Be known or unknown;

But this one hit home,
A favourite of mine,
A screen gem, no doubt,
Taken, too quickly, without goodbye.

Irrfan Khan has died. Long live Pi!

FOR. LO!

Immediately, gradually,
Quickly, slowly,
Temporarily, permanently,
Technically, simply.

Many businesses are forced to stay shut for fear of COVID-19 spread. For economies that rely on heavily on private sector enterprise, it's the worst period in history.

FOUR. LOW. IN.

Suddenly,
Unexpectedly,
Sadly,
Unbelievably.

COVID-19 has forced many employers out of business, employees out of work. In one of the most horrible times ever experienced by mankind, the world is groaning from the after effects of a global pandemic.

THE SECOND WAVE.

But first, let's dance,
Happy this is all over,
Given another chance,
To sort out life's matter;

But haven't we endured,
Enough, to let hair down?
For weeks we've been bored,
It's time to hit the town!

Many have drawn comparison with the 1918 Spanish Flu that got many killed in the 2nd Wave of infections. As many cities and countries ease up on their lockdowns, historians have cautioned to be weary of the 2nd wave as COVID19 has the potential to wreak havoc.

DARK BLUES.

The best time to be awake,
Is through the night,
Even if there's no light,
It's okay to binge on that cake.

In Nigeria most times than not there's no power but when it rains, like today,we don't give a heck about it all!

EQUALS ONE.

She would be his best friend,
And partner in crime,
Never finding fault in his frailty,
Always compassionate and loving,

He would be by her side,
Never complaining about her beauty,
Completing her in every way,
And always being proud of her.

TALES BY COVID. (8.)

By the time,
This lockdown is over,
Singular overwhelming revelation,
There are coconut heads in power!
