Waiting For Covid-19 (To Pass) Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In our homes
We wait
Every knock on the door
Raises alarm
Every news alert
Raises alarm
Every cough
Raises alarm
Every visitor
Raises alarm
Every ticking moment
Raises alarm
It's an intolerable situation
But we have to learn to tolerate it
We have to learn to be the armour
That will stop the pandemic
It's only through our concerted efforts
That this pandemic will be halted
It's only through our cooperation
That we will be victorious
It's only through our sacrifices
That we will be spared
Stay home and save lives
