Introduction
COVID-19... Leave The World Now!
Main Item
All are extremely scared and panicking
Because of the famous name now circulating around the globe.
It's not a celebrity,
Nor a hero,
Or a jackpot winning lotto,
But everybody's fear and hate now,
The COVID-19!
Why?
They keep on avoiding this name
In fact, they even do distancing now.
They keep on applying sanitizer or alcohol,
Every now and then, people are washing their hands
Just to keep away from this illness
So they say, better safe than sorry!
Most of the establishments now are closed,
The borders are forced to shut down,
Its so sad that even the sacred places to run in times of low and high moments are off to the worshipers...
What is happening now to this world?
I read an article in The New York Times,
It was published way back in the year 1981
By Dean Koontz
That by the year 2020,
A severe pneumonia like illness will scatter around the world.
Is this the COVID-19 now?
If this was written 39 years ago,
Then the World Health Organisation(WHO) or some Scientists are aware that it will happen.
They should invent before hand or dig further studies to come up with the best cure
Damn!!! Too late to move now!
The damage was done!
The author predicted this 39 years ago
How come they did not do something about it?
They waited for more casualties?
Now that the death toll keeps on rising?
And the virus is spreading quickly?
I pity the family and
loved ones of those who died,
And those who keeps on struggling with this frightening illness...
COVID-19, LEAVE THE WORLD NOW!
HEAVENLY FATHER,
Hear our cries and pleas,
It's only YOU who can stop the fast spread of this fatal virus.
We trust in YOU,
And we need YOUR clemency.
Please save the world.
YOU made us realize that we are nothing without YOU,
And everything we have is only temporary,
Hence,
YOU can get it anytime.
YOU gave us a wake up call to remind us all the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten...
YOU want to rest the world for a while,
Thinking of no one,
Prioritizing nothing
But YOU,
And YOU alone.
We humbly ask for forgiveness,
As we surrender our life to YOU..
Please construct us now,
And prepare us to enter YOUR HEAVENLY KINGDOM,
Amen.
Stay safe,
Stay well everyone!
May GOD bless us all!
