Dear corona,

I got so many questions and I need answers

Why take our brothers and sisters

Why take our fathers and mothers

Why take our kids and leave these gangsters

Why take our friends and lovers

Why take doctors and farmers

Why take buyers and sellers

Why make us feel like losers

*************************

We are stuck in a cage

With bills we can’t manage

With no pay with no wage

Forgive my rage

But it feels like the end of the page

I don’t wanna die young, I wanna age

But you make me feel like am in the final stage

So much you sabotage

************************

You goddess of isolation and monogamy

You have wrecked our economy

You’ve caused us so much pain and agony

We can’t live in peace and harmony

Because of you we postpone a ceremony

How do you simply enjoy the monotony?

Someday I will give a testimony

In your conviction, a pathogen, a felony

*******************************

Am tired of wearing this mask

I can’t execute any task

I got a question I need to ask

Do you know i can’t bask

Do you know am caged from dawn to dusk

What are you musk

They say you choke more than husk

And dehydrate like rusk

********

Why are you so wild?

I wish you were a little tame

Your effects are not mild

Protection is lame

You destroy everything we build

You and my government are the same

Reckless like a child

Doing anything for fame

******************************

Eight minutes in the air

Do you have any virus friends?

Yuck you isn’t fair

You stick even on my trends

You everywhere I have to cover my nose, mouth and even hair

All days even weekends

I can’t sit on a public chair

Cause you could be on both ends

*****************

Tell me what you want

Am willing to pay you to leave

You scare, you haunt

Even those who want to live

So many dead, I’ve lost my count

The world has no solution you’ve trapped us in a cave

Mr. President, pay corona any amount

Thereafter we party and rave

************

I couldn’t afford my apartment

Now I live in a tent for rent

Normalcy has been bent

Restricted movement

No money, unemployment

Displacement by my government

More risks no entertainment

You are a complete definition of imprisonment

*************************

Allow me to bargain

Cause I have given up and tired

Allow mw to board the next train

Go home because I was fired

I’ve tried to survive in the city all in vain

Am not rich am not retired

Nothing to gain, just pain

My joy has expired

*********************

I’m done here, listen if you can hear

Am done with trauma and fear

Your chaos I can’t bear

I’m done wearing protective gear

Am done watching you take everyone so dear

Am done living like am expecting nuclear

Take me, every tissue apart you tear

But everybody else you stay clear.
