In the year of Christ
MMCC ,
will descend from the Skies
A death almighty ;
And lay asunder
Nations Over and Under
Air will get filled with enemy unseen ;
The stealthy Demon will enter the lungs
And manifold multiply
To fill the air with exhaled germs,
Claiming victims
Those who dare to venture nearby ;
Gasping millions will grasp for cure,
Consuming every word, written or spoken
By Charlatans gore ;
Shutting out the Sun
Darkness will descend from the Sky
Turning days into dreadful nights
Of unfathomable despair ;
Men will go mad
And perform pagan rites,
To collect in millions
Immersing leper-like bodies in waters
Or to elect from among them
The Madder and the Maddest ;
Medicine-men will give a name
To this Disease Divine
calling it Covid - Ten plus Nine ;
In the year of Christ 2M and 2X
As people wail
Greed will prevail,
Even for a ton of Silver
Medicines will stay Un-avail ;
And the dead will need to wait their turn
In long serpentine queues
For hasty half -dug graves
As the Earth runs out of space to spare
To bury the brave ;
Not only will people die
Amongst millions
Desire to Live , too will die !
In the year of 2M and 2X
Hope for 2M and 2XI
will die
