Seth U. COVID chronicles. J Pract Cardiovasc Sci 2020;6:198 |
They say an unseen monster
Roams the ghost-town grounds
All air's a threat, all touch taboo
For everywhere, hide its hounds
They march the town, they knock on doors
They lurk in people's minds, in hope
To escalate, graduate, perpetuate, conflagrate
Their lungs and lives, so they can't cope
However, monsters need heroes, haven't you heard?
Who stand and fight and still fight back
Else no story, no tale to recount a day
That a stetho-sword halted their track.
Micelles and water, that holy duo
Their undisputed weapon of choice
Free and far, their trusty tongues
Urge its use, to hail sooner rejoice
The world is dead
In motion, not spirit
Economy, business, trade, enterprise
Swept away to the laborer's grit
A cough is enough, apparently, it seems
To bring Goliath humanity to its knees
And so, I make a desperate appeal:
Give their armors to those who need
Don't give up on the homeless, jobless, cashless breed
The ones who suffered the most are gone
However, more are claimed, every apathetic dawn
Claps and candles are well and good
Yet, they must know we did as much as we could
To test, to transport, to support the ill and alone
No religion's deaf to this monster's moan
The cure is far, and so are we
From friends, family, festivity, fun
Yet, try, try, try, just try, not to forget
That there's a day, we will step out
In to the sun.
Financial support and sponsorship
Nil.
Conflicts of interest
There are no conflicts of interest.
