When The Whole World Is Covid-Infested And In Agony Can You Among Others Be Healthy? Poem by Frank Yue
When The Whole World Is Covid-Infested And In Agony Can You Among Others Be Healthy?
When the whole world is COVID-infested and in agony
Can you among others be healthy?
When the world is short of water for agriculture and drinking
Fresh water can you keep on squandering?
When the whole world is ailing
Can you gaily go sailing?
When people in wars face great hardship and death
Can you still be so blind, mute and deaf?
When for help the world's crying out
Can you be gaily rambling about?
When great patches of the world are burning
Can you be merry-making?
When the world focuses on gains and pure gratification
Can you pass a resourceful land to your younger generation?
When the whole world slowly dies of self-destruction
Can you live on an island in isolation?

An excellent philosophical poem. Frank, we are all trying to cope the best we can. Is it better to become prisoners in our homes OR social distance and abide by government restrictions?
