Thou Covid-19, Humanity Wants to Sing a New Song
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
Some of Coronavirus Negative Effects
I may not be too sure of what the people in the advanced climes are passing through
But I know what the people in the developing world are passing through, especially
Those who are struggling to make ends meet. Coronavirus’ effect on us is terrible, it has
Allow for people who have not been indulging in criminal acts to join the group
Because of making ends meet. When a family man cannot boast of one cent on him
Yet he has a wife and children that ought to be taken care of. He for this has joined the
Group of burglars. The innocent ladies around have ceased to be innocent all in a bid
To make ends meet, and have been doing what she vowed years back that she will never
Indulge in. People who are not working for the government are not being paid, and those
Who are doing businesses have lost in millions while some’s businesses have collapsed,
The law enforcement agencies who ought to be protecting people are those who are adding
To the plights of the people, as they seize the motorbikes that some are using for business
While taxi drivers could not ply the road. Many of the taxi drivers have taken loans to
Buy those cars, and because they cannot repay those loans back, their vehicles have been
Ceased by those who sell the cars to them on hire purchase. The nation’s economy is
Nosediving every day, and the leaderships of the country are at a fix as per how to
Negotiate the bends, it seems as if the bends keeps on getting bend and would not be
Straightened. Many tenants have been served quit notice because they cannot pay
Their rent, while some have been forcefully ejected from their houses, yet we hope
For a better tomorrow, but it seems as if there shall be no better tomorrow as things are going
The people in advanced climes who are coming forth with new innovations have not been
Able to come forth with new innovations because of the stay at home order. Seeing, getting
Fresh insights have been brushed aside and all that humans are talking about is how to
Get this unwanted virus out of the world’s airspace. Financial institutions are not working
As they ought to be working, money transferred to families and friends in other continents
Have been hanging in the air because people could not go to work to process the deal,
Farmers have been incapacitated and could barely transport foods and products to other
Countries and communities, schools have been closed and students could not learn new
Things to improve their knowledge, offshore accounts have been blocked and people and
Countries reserves have been depleted because of Coronavirus, oh thou Coronavirus, humans
Have had enough of you and we demand that you leave for wherever you have come from
So that we shall be able to sing a new song.
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir - Sing a New Song (Live)
Composed Song: Go Away Covid-19
Chorus
“We want to sing a new song,
Oh thou the Covid-19
We say Go away,
We say go away-ay
Go away from our midst
Our midst is not thine habitation
Go away, we say go away-ay
Solo:
Humans abode, is abode of peace,
Where peace dominates
And we are love reigns
Hospitality, and communion is our watchword
We detest your presence even in our midst…
Chorus
We want to sing a new song,
Oh thou the Covid-19
We say Go away,
We say go away-ay
Go away from our midst
Our midst is not thine habitation
Go away, we say go away-ay
Solo:
You ’ve overstayed even thine presence
In our midst, we do not want you more
We want to be, in peace, lov’ an’ harmony
Thence we have decreed that thou go away
Chorus
We want to sing a new song,
Oh thou the Covid-19
We say Go away,
We say go away-ay
Go away from our midst
Our midst is not thine habitation
Go away, we say go away-ay
Solo:
We want to have access to our normal lives
Living like someone in prison yard we detest
We do look forward, to when peace, joy an’ love
Would even reign again like it was before
So,
Chorus
We want to sing a new song,
Oh thou the Covid-19
We say Go away,
We say go away-ay
Go away from our midst
Our midst is not thine habitation
Go away, we say go away-ay
