Every one easily recognisable face,
Has come down with the virus,
From Norway to Australia, an alarming pace,
Isn't this a circus?

Like an oblique propaganda,
Set to cause global apprehension,
It employs celebrities into its agenda,
Just to further heighten a campaign of confusion;

Europeans have caught it,
Footballers, too,
People of colour can get it,
Even world leaders, too;

Thus the story unfolds,
Of how the world unites in terror,
Panic, fear in great manifolds,
Grips the planet in total horror!
How those celebrities have been coming down with COVID-19 leaves more questions than answers in my mind.
The latest is a black man of European descent. After famous footballers have been infected and some achieving remarkable recoveries.

The leadership of certain countries have been infected, others exposed. In one huge play of sorts, this thing gradually finds a stage to present one of the biggest, globally organised tragedies, of the modern era.
