This year

The year ran with pain

How did you spend your 2020

This year came with a hectic pandemic
The pandemic was a wicked one
There was shutdown, there was lockdown
The World was kept at a point but still moving

Every country was scared
Every state was in shock
Every day thousands are dying
Every minute the scores changes

Face mask and hand gloves became mandatory for everyone
Corona the invisible virus
You stole 2020 from the World
You caused much pain to happen

Just five days to the twelfth month of the year 2020
America the most powerful country still cannot get a vaccine for that virus
Everybody in Africa keeps wondering is this just a trick

Corona-Virus

ICE

Hello Crosby, it has been a dreadful year for all of us, but I am hopeful. There appear to be three vaccines which are looking promising. I am optimistic that by Easter next year, things would have changed considerably and the future will look brighter. Keep safe and take care. Your poem sums it up, how it has been for so many. So much pain and misery.
