Analysis of COVID-19

Tony Cuevas 1969 (Santa Cruz)



COVID-19 what a horrible dream
What evil has thought up this horrible scheme

It's in darkness you find the things that you love
You pray that the white dove won't fly above

Your values and morals suddenly change
Health, family, friends is how you arrange

That white picket fence is a thing of the past
Material obsessions are suddenly last
