The Lifeless Killer

 

You knocked on 31st Dec 2019, and you've since refused to go,

We thought you were on transit, you say you came to stay,

You've sat at our homes and workplaces, cognizant you are not welcome any more,

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

You have no respect for science, parasites don't decimate their hosts.

You started as a spark of Wuhan, and lit the whole world into flames.

We blamed the carnivore man, but now vegetarians too,

We closed ports on sea and air, but you remained porous to infiltrate man,

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

We thought you are sister to MERS, but your sister was a bit kind,

We thought you are in the kingship of SARS, but that too we managed to cease,

All you have is similarity of taxonomy, indeed you're so evil to classify,

We got it all wrong on you, you are a devil incarnate.

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

You have no respect for gender and age, no respect for social class too,

You kill paupers and celebrities the same, extinct politicians and voters alike,

No respect for academic status, ebbing professors same way with toddlers,

No respect for spiritual class, Bishops die same death with Judas.

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

They say viruses have no life of their own, They borrow life from whomever they attack,

A beggar must learn not to be proud, against odds you've made life your own,

Countries have done all to kill you, yet you remain so faceless to be seen,

Money has been poured to decimate you, faceless men have taken it away

Armaggedon was never said to be like you, we must see who laughs last

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

You have redesigned the political space, the best politician is one who fights you best,

You have closed places of worship, our kids have learned to learn from home,

You have postponed olympics and other classics, premier league is for recorded spectators,

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

You have covered our mouths, to do more than bringing down lip balm industry

You changed the use of alcohol, it's now meant for washing hands,

You have confused the terrorists, the only blessing in disguise,

You have disrupted our world, children do'nt know we greet by handshake

No more Holly kiss for sons of Adam, Corinthians can't believe you know no Bible

One day we shall take you down, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.

 

Your strategy to kill health workers, and take away our first line of defense,

Coffin makers shedding genuine tears, while they hammer last nail to casket,

Tired of making last shelter, for fellows whose assignment is far from over,

The day of resurrection shall be a day of tales, why men got erased before time

The virus shall be the answer, an enemy devoid of respect for the living

One day we shall take you down too, man cannot succumb to a lifeless thing.
