Covid 19 Poems
Covid-19— The nightmare
by Bushra Zuberi
Empty classrooms
Abandoned desks
No eager chatting
No nervousness for tests
Offices are desserted
All alerted
And aware
Oh it’s so depressing
Worse than a nightmare

It’s Time To Smile
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
I’m a Covid child...
Recognize my smile...
You’ve never seen my face...
It’s been covered for a while...
My eyes dart left...
And then to the right...
My eyes are wide open...
And full of fright...

Poverty as a Pandemic Pain
by Ololade Raji
Life in the hood means nothing without a livelihood as those in the hood will choose livelihoods over lives. Maybe you now know why the frenzy virus feeds on your lives through the hunger of those in the hood
But if you fear the virus and still value your life above your livelihood, then, you are not in the hood. And you better not leave those in the hood to leave the hood for food and the virus
For it is good to move their food to the hood so they remain in the hood, then, you would not need to brood over their covid moves to leave their hood
I hope you know the gloom that looms if you do not give a hoot and look beyond loots. Have I just told you how to woo those in the hood with food to stay at home?
If you do not believe that you need food to ease the pandemic pains in the hood, you would neither believe in the corona dirge for a sweet aunt nor a word from this howl

I am sure
by GODONI YOHANA
Though Covid 19 imperils you
And cages folks in the quarantine
Still
Am sure that we the nations
Shall triumph this encounter.
Though Covid 19
Has covered many
underground and is still
Still we have the hope

We have lost this year
by Abhinandan Sharma
We lost the charm of this year
We are living in fear
We have lost all the fun
It's dangerous like guns
We are trapped in homes
Like we are trapped in prisons
With blurred vision
Still fighting on the name of religion
No one feels discomfiture
