Reflections: A Corona Poem

2020 introduced the world to coronavirus
And as we looked for someone to inspire us

All we got were messages that were mixed
From someone who also claimed elections were fixed

So everyone panicked and bought toilet paper
At the supermarket such a caper

People packed in like a tin of sardines
After they’d been told to self quarantine

The situation also meant that stocks took a hit
And showed how much people are so full of shit

Stockpiling Charmin and hoarding Purell
No ones concerned about ending up in hell

What was a Me Too culture is now Me First
Self centeredness seems to have unquenchable thirst

Now we can only hope for the best
As the world is put to the test

Let’s hope the population does not end in tatters
And we as a people realize what matters.
