Why do humans tend to appreciate life
when it feels like they are losing their grips?

I've had a better life
Than a squirrel.
Ask anybody.
But looking out,
I'm envious of that
Mite invested, bushy-tailed one,
Fleeing up my tree.

What happened to those eyes full of laughter
Passed on one generation after

Be ceased for all,
For not following something that had to be done afterall

So people its time to wake
do not put each others life at stake

Time to be aware
but don't to be scared

It is time to co-operate
as something cannot be any late

Practice hygiene
that essential lesson which was taught in tween !

Nobody is keen
to live in quarantine

But it has to be followed
to continue life which is mellow

As they say,a person one in a million
One with a queer attitude
Will help us avenge this feud

But what about the remaining billion
Can't they uproot this villain!

So the virus shall die
To complace all those cries

For that shouldn't go vain
As it all revolves around our brain

Whatever might be the fate
But remember it's never too late

However far we stay
But we want to accomplish the same

The thirst must be quenched
For once the Earth must be avenged TOGETHER...

Crazy COVID-19 has us all in a tizzy
Too much information making all of us dizzy
Most who’ve been exposed self-quarantine
Running out of toilet paper making us mean
“Social distancing” is the phrase du jour
Scientists now scrambling to find the cure
Hurry!

(Chorus)
COVID-19 apolitical
Proper testing so critical
Slow response hypocritical
Naysayers hypercritical
Division and strife
Don’t take my life
Give it back!

What started out in China as an epidemic
No respecter of nations totally pandemic
All around the world countries shutting down
Even New York City looks like a ghost town
Is there no end to this viral mess
As our way of life’s forced to evanesce?
Scary!

(Chorus)
COVID-19 apolitical
Proper testing so critical
Slow response hypocritical
Naysayers hypercritical
Division and strife
Don’t take my life
Give it back!
