Unseen: A poem about Covid-19

Covid-19 Invisible, unseen

Attacking across the world

Its tendrils unfurledLatching to anything close

Taking people as its host

No discrimination As it travels our nation The death toll is rising But it’s not surprising

There’s no vaccine For this Virus Unseen

This Virus UnseenCalled Covid-19

Is spreading faster Causing disaster

To reduce the dead

And combat the spreadThe only suggestion

For general protectionIs to wear a mask A compulsory task

Wash hands and sanitize

Don’ t go and fraternise

Keep social distanceIt helps with resistance

To Covid-19 This Virus Unseen

We must stop Covid-19

This Virus UnseenBy staying at homeNo streets to roam

No cigarettes, no drinking What is the government thinking?

They say it will help to spread it lessBut people are under so much stress

Five levels now, return in stages But this is going to take us ages Now the country must unite

Listen to rules and do what’s right To stop Covid-19

This Virus Unseen Covid-19

Invisible, unseenIs an assault on mankind

Which we’re fighting blind

There’s no real protection

Against this infectionSo many are infected

Two weeks to be detected

The frontline can’t cope

All we can do is hope

That we get a reprieve

And at last it will leave If we all uniteThe end may be in sight

To this Virus Unseen

Covid-19
