Here Corona, There Corona…Oh My!

Sarala talks about the menace and spread of Corona, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

Oh, dear!
Stay indoor
She is on the lookout
Knocking at every door
Wearing her criminal crown
And lovely attire with red spots
She is the Queen now
Who reigns the world
She may smile
She may laugh
Spitting her venom on everyone
Don’t go out
She is on the lookout
Although she smiles
Her fangs stick out
She has locked the whole world
Keeping the keys with her
That tiny deadly virus
Always on the lookout
To whom next to pounce upon
She turned the world upside down
Sucking everyone’s blood
She unassumingly arrived
And slaughtered millions
Without any mercy
Oh dear!
Don’t go out
Stay indoor
She will knock at each n every door
Be careful dear
She is so tiny n cutely dangerous
Don’t fall prey to her!
For the time being
She is the merciless queen
She has made people insane
All are seeing her only
Every nook n corner
People scream
There’s Corona
Here’s Corona
Wherever they look
They find Corona!
Corona phobia has
Gripped the entire world
and the psychiatrists going mad
with the huge amount of patients
with Corona phobia!
She made the rich paupers
And the poor poorer and poorer
Mind you
She has no mercy
She is a treacherous killer
Reigning the world!
Oh, dear!
Stay indoor
But how long
The world can be locked in?
Streets are empty
Children at home crying
Wanting to go out n play
Parents terrified
Doctors and nurses
Giving their lives up
To save affected people!
Go Corona go away
We don’t want to see you ever again!
Let’s all pray together
This queen gets a death sentence!
