The world still debates how I came,
But IΒ Β came with a mission,
WHO declared me as pandemic,
Cause I spread like fire across the globe.
Infecting and sometimes killing those that crossed my path.
There is no vaccine for me as yet,
So I am safe to do my work.
I came to revive humanity,
Look at all the unsung heroes,
Leaving their families and dear ones,
To save lives.
I came to cleanse the earth,
The only way was to make them stay at home,
To reduce carbon pollution.
I separated them from other people,
To listen deeply,
To pray more,
To think other ways and for others.
I stopped mass gatherings,
Closed cinemas, pubs and restaurants,
So they could spend time together as family,
To read more,play games, exercise, and cook,
And gradually to heal.
I have come and I will stay,
Until you learn to change your way of life.
