A gaze at the times of Shakespeare and Einstein.
It never glimpsed in their savant brains.
The times when we used to laugh and appreciate with our hands like birds along the river banks,
The times when we used to congregate and relate notions,
The times when we could walk around with exposed mouths and noses.
Gone are the cents of years together with the moments.
The thing has come.
A spark in China, then boom to the rest.
Then fueled by physical interaction.
Oh, my Malawi, you wanna die.
Oh ,Nigeria my sister, you wanna die.
Tanzania, my brother, you wanna die.
Then mama Africa, be Cautious !
Here comes economic depression.
Expanding brains intimidated.
The thing has chopped a million,
Shall squander a billion,
Then deal with a trillion.
Oh, African mayhem,
American mayhem,
Then Eurasian mayhem.
Now they exercise social distancing and wear mask.
When shall the mankind be rescued from the Egypt of COVID to the Canaan of COVID-free atmosphere?
