FAREWELL, OH PLAGUE! | Oluyemi Elisha

Fell in some unconscious revel

With all my senses quite feeble.

But I was roused up to discover

That some virus paused the world.

 

T’will fade away in no time—

Just some vainly uttered oracle.

For months passed in a while,

And weeks just drifted by.

 

I looked and observed through my lens;

The world was shrouded in silence.

And my ears were keenly opened

To eerie cries and theories spread.

 

Natural cause or terrorism,

Some leaked weapon or whatever tis,

Our world since breeds some raging panic

As death slowly invades our fabric.

 

I, regardless of these, a gauntlet throw

To you who has stilled and quaked our realm.

The’ nduring strengths of ours o’er time tested

Will prevail though our last be chanced by woe.

 

Then, this time I’ll soar than a copter

With all my senses brewed with fervour.

I will rise to joyfully divulge.
