The Outbreak


It all started with a cough And people's lives became miserable and rough It got worse and worse through the night And our only hope is to stay with our loved ones and hold them tight People standing long queues Empty shelves like the streets and classrooms,people panic The sound of chaos,people busily buying food Spending time with families,trying to lighten up the mood The outbreak has become a threat The poor would lie hopelessly without anything to eat People standing 1m apart When they see the stock getting finished,world war lll is about to start Feeling as if the virus is about to attack Feeling the heart beating,the heaviness in the chest And just want to rest Counting days through this lockdown And feeling depressed and down Wondering how many died and how many will die Oh,God what have we done to deserve this? God wants to silence the noise and bring peace to us He wants to meet us in the middle of our hopelessness As we lay wide awake Tossing and turning with our minds buzzing with fear Feeling like a haunted house,this feelings and demons are here to stay Feeling lonely like a house on a tall hill And praying not to get ill A tremendous increase in the cases of death Is this the end of Earth? All we can do is to stay home and pray Hope for a better tomorrow As time goes by it'll get easier,of that i am sure of This too shall pass
