Analysis of Coronavirus or Chinavirus?
It seems that
Everyone carries
In the hands, breaths, cell phones
And keys, even all objects that
Illustrate as;
To touch is a risky habitual practice
The world's cities, streets
And roadways
Display a view of curfew
Such a scene executes scare, panic,
And uncertainty everywhere
In all professions, even doctors
It looks like as;
People are in the war
But without war
Neither guns, bombs, drones
And rockets, nor Armed forces,
Air forces and sea forces
Seem helpless and compelled
In front of Coronavirus
I am curious about that
How history will describe,
This Coronavirus year of this century?
Or China-virus of humanity victimization?
