A TOUCH OF HOPE
WRITTEN BY EMMANUEL IKOROMASOMA
Our churches and mosque empty,
Streets suddenly gone dark.
No public gathering, not a party,
Only sorrowful songs from a lark.
Mankind is at its darkest hour,
But is man kind to man?
Doctors can only do within power,
But to save us, only God can.
Borders closed, yet the virus broke in,
Like a road bump, slow is our heartbeat.
Our spirit are tough and hopes awaken,
How, if we don’t kneel at his feet?
The rich and poor are not spared,
The virus is but a great equator.
Our hopes and faith seems to be dead,
But shouldn’t be on the great protector.
Self isolate and maintain good hygiene,
But each day the number increases.
Even if we tend to quarantine,
Let’s heed upon his promises.
The sins of this world is cumbersome
For a shoulder alone to carry.
But our God is too awesome,
To let us live in this agony.
Do not panic or die before you could live,
The virus is here and so it will Leave.
Avoid the scenes of tempting crowd,
God through our doctors will do us proud.
Courage is what is needed of you,
It is no secrete what the lord can do.
What he did in the times of Ebola,
He would do, in trying times of Corona.
