Coronavirus Poem

(Ekwensu the Mischief Maker)

 

A bodiless killer with no limbs

Under cover of night

He sprung into the Leap Year

An avalanche of mischief unleashed.

 

Some say he came from Wuhan

Others claim from under the sea

Ignored by kings and queens

Merry gatekeepers full of Pangolins.

 

Ekwensu, the mischievous spirit

You strike when life is sweetest

Who will take you for granted

And live to tell the story?

 

The wrongs we know not

But a forgotten prophet foretold time ago

‘That the way earthly things are going

Anything might happen now.’

 

Ekwensu, what do you want?

A River Blood you have drunk

Trillions of dollars drowned

Global Armies emasculated in no time.

 

(R.C. Njoku, March 27, 2020)
