Poem 115: Prophecy

Will we ever get this Covid-19 under control?

Or will it continue to take its toll?

The age group for the vaccine is changing from day to day

How many more lives will have to pay?

Right now, India is suffering most of all

As well as Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Nepal

This southeast Asia region has reported almost three million cases

Twenty five thousand people have died in two days in these places

This infection is proceeding in leaps and bounds

As much as five times the rate because of the gathering of large crowds

Issuing protocols for their New Year’s event

This catastrophe was something they could not prevent

People are dying at a rate we have never seen before

Trying to keep this under wraps is a major chore

Nations around the world will have to assist them in this task

So many lives could have been saved if they only worn a mask

There are so many poor countries, it’s now a global crusade

They need to be tended to and this goal in no way should be swayed

This battle will be continuous and may never cease

Controlled in one area and in another it continues to increase

With all these bodies moving from place to place

It’s impossible to control the entire human race

This I see as the problem and this virus is here to stay

How can we curtail this when all these factors are in play?

Then you have people believing it’s all a hoax

How can we manage to convince all these folks?

Concentrating on just one area seems to be all for naught

The virus you try to eliminate will show up in another spot

They will name it for the region because it’s now a more contagious strain

Like the pattern we have been seeing time and time again

We will be taking covid shots like we do with the flu

And still have these morons continue to believe it’s not true

As long as these ones in denial are refusing to be dosed

This infection will continue on this endless supply of hosts

The only way I see the future, if I have to be blunt

That the vaccine we are injecting is able to stay out in front

Because if there’s a variance that occurs that we can’t overpass

That’s when this scourge will end up finally kicking our ass

Here’s hoping my prophecy is proven wrong

Here’s hoping that we unite and all get along

Make a plan and eventually get it right

Maybe then I will see a future that is bright

Just get it into your head what they said from the start

Everyone wear your mask and stay six feet apart

We have to get this, it’s back to square one

If we don’t , this pandemic will never be done
