TIDE
A tribute to Mankind’s endurance against horrendous adversity
Written By: Derek S Ward      ward354345@gmail.com        

Did it come from space, or was it already here?
Just hiding within a cloak so unseen
Now the human race has something to fear
That will provoke us with a spirit unclean

At the slightest touch, it will invade its host
No questions, no feelings , no parole
Then as tight as a clutch, this invisible ghost
Will creep through the very soul

A coming has arisen to defeat us all
To destroy and not just to fracture
It has no prison, no warnings, no call
Not even a desire to capture

Yet this threat stirred reaction throughout mankind
We stand to challenge its fight
And this Human faction with science combined
Will bring us our day, our light

This evil torment from far or near
As watched this earth as it cried
Yet we shall not relent, as it all is so clear
We will live, not just ebb like the tide

Stay Safe
I have been in hospital with Covid. I was extremely ill, yet eventually after testing negative I was discharged. However, two weeks later I was again admitted to hospital  with a serious chest infection and sent sometime there before being discharged. Covid I9 is our invisible enemy. It is so dangerous and relentless and as proven to undermine our very existence.
