Needle in a haystack.
This viral epidemic consuming the world
Seeking out a cure appears a long way off?
Conflicting reports on how to cope
Leads one to wonder, is there any hope
Yet we as people will survive
It’s in our DNA to stay alive.
The saying “man mind thyself, woman do likewise”
Now turned on its head it must be said?
The thought of isolation
Desolating
No one wants to be locked away from the outside world
But in times when needs must
We will learn to adjust
It might sound glib to say keep the faith
The other side of the coin, not easy to contemplate
So let us all in our own way hold sway
Think positivity not decay
Follow the instructions of those WHO know
Soap wash hands, keep 3 feet apart
Meet and greet yes remember no hand shakes
Don’t touch mouth, nose, eyes at least that is a start.
