What day, what country, 

     What planet, what time

Thoughts are all jumbled,

    Life doesn’t rhyme

Yet another passing

     Announced whilst sirens blare

The world feels frozen 

     In dreadful fear

Don’t come near, don’t touch,

     Don’t sneeze, don’t cough

Fourteen days at home

      Is still not enough

Which prayer which potion

      Which primal scream

Can tame the raging beast

      Covid-19

G-d have mercy,

      We want to see Your shining face

Signed,

      Your children – the human race
