Living In Fear - Corona Virus Poem by David Boyce

Living in fear.

Everybody are living in fear,
The Corona virus is worldwide,
Worried about contracting the virus,
Many in self isolation trying to hide.

Since the virus was announced,
Panic buying every where,
Many thoughtless bulk buying,
With very little care.

Key workers putting themselves at risk,
In hospitals, trains and on the road,
Terrible situations with travellers stranded,
Whilst holidaying and working abroad.

All the people worldwide advised to wash their hands,
To help end this dreadful cause,
Key workers are still working,
All the rest being told to stay indoors.

Hopefully this will pass soon,
As we all live with the strain,
Sadly there is loss of lives,
We pray as we feel their pain.
