Nothing Of This Virus I Do Like Poem by Gert Strydom

You are absolutely beautiful to me
and nothing of this virus I do like,
where a lock-down do separate us

and the world feels upside-down and in anarchy.
I do continually pray that it will pass
and nothing of this virus I do like,

where you and I are almost handed over to it,
while death does tear apart families and people in love.
I do continually pray that it will pass,

that a new better time will come,
that a person can start once again,
while death does tear apart families and people in love.

and do continually wonder what is hidden in all of this?
I wish scientists would find an anti-virus,
that a person can start once again

and you are never out of my thoughts,
you are absolutely beautiful to me.
I wish scientists would find an anti-virus,
where a lock-down do separate us.
