COVID-19

Dr. Idowu James ADEKUNLE 1976 (Lagos)

               Born in Wuhan, China, December 2019
               A deadly disease that ravages the world
Are you born out of the scientific experimental power of psychological war?
  Have you birthed out the exploration of mankind?
                                           Or
  Are you a natural disease occurring to mankind?
              Nations are locked up by you   
  The contagious disease that shakes the world
               Everyone becomes masquerades:
                                                           Kings and subjects
                                                        Presidents and citizens  
                                                              Rich and poor
                                                              Old and young
                                                             Blacks and Whites
                                                              Great and small
The biggest masquerade festival that has ever happened in the history of the world
               No gender inequality before you
               No racial discrimination  
                The common struggle
                 The common fight
                         Among
                 Commit of nations
                 Humans’ palaver
                 Medical cares’ stress
                  Scientists’ research:
                   The Pfizer-BioTech
                       Moderna
        Johnson and Johnson’s Janssen
        O God of Creation heal our world

    It talks about coronavirus heartlessness as it ravages mankind, sparing no one.
    Corona is compared to "The biggest masquerade festival that has ever happened in the history of the world",metaphor is used here.
    Finally,the poet ends with a plea to the God of creation to heal the world.
