Did anyone ever imagine at the beginning of 2020
A virus will turn the world upside down
An invisible enemy would invade nations without weapons
Destroy systems that intelligent humans built over centuries.
Did anyone ever imagine at the beginning of 2020
The Wuhan virus would travel across seven seas
Reach the shores of every nation
Tumbling their economies down!
Did anyone ever imagine at the beginning of 2020
The tiny virus would enter our Mother land
Expose the reality of millions made visible
When they started their exodus from cities and towns.
Did anyone ever imagine at the beginning of 2020
The microscopic Covid-19 would turn my world inside-out
Make me stand naked before my unnamed fears
Test my faith and trust in a loving God.
Did anyone ever imagine at the beginning of 2020
The human made virus would push humanity to new normal
With new dress code and ways of communication
Not stopping but marching towards their final destiny…
