Corona: A fight on global battleground

“Fighting against a pandemic on the global battleground…In health and medical workers heroes have now been found”. The poem ‘Corona’ is written by George Rampersad of Denmark.

Corona

At the turn of the year 2020 it appeared from out of the blue

Invisible, deadly, silent, like the plague or the Spanish flu

In Asia, Europe, America and anywhere in between

Millions across the planet in lockdown and quarantine

***

Is Mother Nature striking back, a lesson for you and me?

Is it maybe a planned attack, some kind of conspiracy?

Can it be retribution, some punishment from on high?

Can science or some religion say how many more will die?

***

Leaders and politicians playing the waiting game

Hoping to find a scapegoat, looking to place the blame

Indecisive, hesitant, nervous…they sit, they watch and wait

In doubting if it serious they do too little too late

***

In panic and desperation people living in fear

Start going back to religion, taking comfort in prayer

In self-imposed isolation where a single cough or a sneeze

Or one little careless action can bring a country down to its knees

***

Isolated from their beloved, victims in every land

Battling for survival, no one to hold their hand

To family, friends and mourners, access will be denied

No music, no song, no flowers will follow those who have died.

***

Armed with basic equipment – a glove, a mask, a suit

Committed and dedicated, devoted and resolute

Fighting against a pandemic on the global battleground

In health and medical workers heroes have now been found

Synonyms and Antonyms everyone should know
