PANIC

Pairing pests
Preaching people
Prolific press
Panting plays
Who dares to dress a drastic
…to turn humans into panic plastics?
Corona!

II
Washing hands
Wishing hounds
Wasteful haves
Wincing hosts
Who dares to square an honour
…by keeping hands in zipped pockets
…squashing handshakes?
Corona!

III
The higher ups are breaking
Touring ministers are shaking
Maple staples are ailing
Queens are turning beggars of attention
…thanks to their privileged meetings
Why?
Corona!

IV
Even –
…Torture is Ranting Under Massive Pressure
Even –
…True is being knitted by a haunting Dough
Even –
…I is Running for cover inexisting
Even
…South is Co in fearsome Rear
All thanks to Wu’s hand
Why?
Dear Corona!

V
In the end
…screens will talk to humans
In the end
…phones will work for comfort
In the end
…depression might turn up its action
Why?
Corona corrodes correct practices
…turning panic into pain
…and massive disdain to hoard groceries
…a human on human hate
Sad sad state!
