This Thing That Seems Like Flue Kills (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

Where this Corona virus in China do originate,
nothing is let out that it exists until it's far too late

and it spreads worldwide and everywhere attacks bit by bit,
where no person in public can miss it

and at the outset it is unheard off and undisturbed and unseen
where this virus destroys in places it had never been,

it seems like flue, do kill and do the liberties of people twist
and on the impact of it no answers do exist,

where people are locked-down to try it to avoid
but many are infected, some die and existing research is at a void.

This wretched thing gives
its disease to every innocent person that lives,

as it does in manifold spread from human being to human being
and scientists struggle to get against it a vaccine or just something,

where all of humanity waits upon it to abate while its impact is huge
and a thing like this reminds a person of the great deluge,

but this evil thing does not come from God but from hell,
His words are fixed and it does of His character tell

and I wonder if this thing will everywhere disappear,
or will it at a time again reappear?

By the thoughts of men I am speechless who do this virus connect
with the theory of Thomas Malthus and think that it is taking effect,

that nature brings a balance to the abundance of man,
while this illness now exponentially spread as far as it can.

God do exist with every answer from eternity to eternity
where He does the sparrow and each human being see,

gives each person a chance to a choice in how a life would be,
do touch and protect humanity with love and great mercy.
