The Monster

The Monster

The Monster that took over the world, is here

So many of us everywhere, now live in fear

What happened to the life that we had lead

Before this is all over, which one of us will be dead

Stay Home and Stay Safe, is what they say

Wear a mask, if you should go away

Wash your hands often, don't touch your face

The Monster is taking over, the whole Human Race

Inside your home, hoping the Monster won't find

There are many things you can do, with your mind

Write a story, work a puzzle, or read a good book

Put something together, that you've always wanted to cook

The Monster likes crowds, so stay away if you can

The person who stands alone, is not part of the plan

Six feet apart, will keep it away

Be cautious of it, and repeat every day

The Monster has killed so many to this day

We keep looking for answers, to stop it in some way

We must do our best, and not give up the fight

Even though this Monster is out of sight

We must work together to win against this COVID Monster.

Those who don't believe it is happening, or that it will get

them. They are just fooling themselves. You will know, if

someone close to you passes away from it. By then it will

be too late. It is so easy to be in your little cubby hole, and

believe it is just a nightmare someone thought up. But it's

real, and it is here, and everywhere, and we need to do our

best not to let it kill any more, by taking as many precautions

as we can.
