And The Fear Of Death

Corona virus
Who would have guessed
Foreseen such a hysteria and panic
Global anxiety
For the possibility of premature death

One thing is clear
No one wants to die early
Although everyone knows
Death is certain

Eating the right food
Exercising regularly
Doing everything in his or her
Own power hoping to extend the life

Yet the death comes knocking
Via the unseen microscopic virus
Threatening the length of life
He or she hopes to achieve
As long as possible

So fearful of the fate
That is to come for sure
Not if but when
Hoping just not tomorrow

Not knowing the fact that
No matter how hard one tries
To extend the life on this earth
The days are numbered
It is for certain

Corona virus or not
It is not the fear of death
But what comes after
The uncertainty of after death
That drives a man or a woman

To cling to this life
For dear life hanging on to
The face mask
And the fear of death
