Reality hurt but we have to face the facts
The government is unprepared, almost everything sucks
Politics wove its ugly head as people panic and become confused
With lockdowns, curfew and quaratine, they ask - is our rights being abused ?
Danger lurks, of a virus the people know nothing about
Seventeen doctors have already died, nearly a thousand rubbed out
Everyday more are infected, not enough medicine, not enough room to isolate
Politicians scramble for funds and publicity while the opposition refuse to cooperate
Its a disease that affects all, both the rich and the poor
The poor with no money and no work, hunger lie in wait at their door
The longer the quarantine, it will be like a volcanic eruption in the waiting
Its not the virus we should fear but the chaos and the crimes, the discontent will bring
The aftermath, when this storm is over will come a power struggle
Political figures, the media, the church, the opposition will point their finger
To each others' face accusing them of greed, of corruption and even mass murder
The oligarchs, the loan-sharks, the crime lords , will again re-emerge and reappear
There is a saying that when there's a storm and the ship is sinking
The rats are the first to jump, and everybody's thought is all about surviving
Comes the need for a Captain to direct its crew to man their posts and do the steering
Leadership to keep hope alive, last the storm ... then there will be time to do some reckoning
The COVID-19 crisis caused fear and uncertainty
Something that is beyond us, we should just wait and see
Twenty days quarantined in a mere 30 square meter of space
We could not let such time together as family to just go to waste
Still all in good health, still free from viral spread
We counted each day a blessing, hoping the storm to end
Eat, pray, love, facebook, youtube, movies to keep our fears inside
Whatever the outcome, whatever our fate, whatever God decide, we will abide
My wife and I have had a life, easy it is say goodbye
But our children are just beginning, we cannot wonder why
Faith, trust and hope, that's all we have right now, we have to try
Believe that there will be life after all this is over, there's no need to cry
A little thought of dying changes a lot in everything
This is but a reminder that life, all this things could end in just a fling
From hereon, make every minute count, worry not about the small stuffs
Think of your dreams and follow your heart, do what is good, this is a good start
