The Visitor Poem by Ruta Mohapatra
The Visitor
After several rounds of the world
I have finally arrived at your doorstep
Thanks for inviting me in
I will stay but a few days
Unless you decide to keep me longer
Don't fret about the sore throat,
The slow fever, body ache,
Those are the gifts I carry
Be thankful, you have taken all those vaccines
Before you invited me in
Foolish of you to undermine my power
I am still evolving, still branching out
So be aware, keep your double masks on
Wash your hands frequently
Sanitize all that you bring in
Unless you want me to pay a second visit…
My mate disbelieves in 'iruses', and contends that vaccines are what do harm. I have not decided what to believe. We are not vaccinated and have no plans to be. bri : )
I believe vaccines surely works against the virus, at least it decreases its severity
Don't fret about the sore throat, The slow fever, body ache, Those are the gifts I carry Be thankful, you have taken all those vaccines Before you invited me in
'Foolish of you to undermine my power' I suggest using 'underestimate'. bri : : )
