Poet

It took us by surprise

Because at first we took it asa joke,
But the beast in it woke
That's why it started to poke
Yes it is a pandemic
But it started as an epidemic

Now the country is on lockdown
We are even thinking of shutting down
We are sitting at home with fear
We thought 2020 is the best year
Unfortunately our hearts are on tear

We are always wearing mask
As for soldiers protecting us is their task
We even lost hope
Because really we can't cope
We just hope for the best
Maybe God is giving us a test

Because all we can do now is to pray
We are afraid to touch a tray
We all know it has no cure
But through radios and tv, they are trying to make us fall for a lure

I don't know how this will end
But God said our hearts will mend
South Africa this is a problem we face
And we can't run away from our place
