1. (Coronavirus) memories of tomorrow

It came in like a hurricane.
Driving me mad, crazy, insane.
It spread around the world instantly.
Infecting, killing forcefully.

A silent ninja in the night.
A lethal weapon out of sight.

Corona corona go away.
Corona corona you can’t stay.

How can we stop it they all said.
As people started dropping dead.

The clapping boom on Thursday night.
For the NHS who battle and fight.

Corona corona go away.
Corona corona you can’t stay.

A venomous snake awaiting it’s pray.
Hunting down without delay.
It slithers down the lungs and suffocates them.
Blocking their airwaves full of phlegm.

Coronavirus please leave us alone.
We want to be free and out of our homes.
You are a wicked darkness which kills the light.
But one day we will win this fight.
