That Thing! (Corona Virus) Poem by ANKWASA HARLORD

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
killing people endlessly in fascinating numbers
The wind tells us it's a war between the two Giants,
Who knows?

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
Uncalled for it comes with it's sting
to the poor innocent people
Causing wails across the entire World,
corpses after corpses as if we are competing
for hell or heaven.

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
why Africa? why Africa? why Africa?
Most of us we don't know how a Visa looks like
it's only through rumours we know it exists! ,
So why should you take my life?

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
my sister Amanda your eating up her mind
YOUR tarnishing her education yet she's really tired
of high school,
my brother Agodenze sings your soul
YOUR tarnishing his education yet he's really tired
of high school
my sister Jeane only consoles herself that God
is her real father and is in God's image
my brother Watmon claims that you have a cure
as a mere consolation!
YOUR tarnishing their education for this might be a dead year
Yet this is their last year in high school
"What a bloody monster are you? "

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
you have brought people closer to God
Prayers are the order of the day,
you have brought back African culture
today morning I found brother Ivan offering sacrifice to the lake,
calling out loud Nalumbale to take you down
Idle and orderly has replaced busy and disorderly
cities, hotels, stadiums etc are abandoned just because you
Why us! why us! why us!

That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
tell us
a you a war between the two Giants
a you a dead year
a you a punishment from God
Does this mean the end
Does this mean the beginning of the end
Does it really mean I will die in high school
Does it mean I will die before producing...

DOES IT MEAN YOUR OUR END...?
We Africans who most of us don't know how a visa looks like? ?
That thing Corona virus, Chinese flu, Trump's truth...
Bloody monster that's what you are... Only that.
