A King from Zhong guo


A king from Zhong guo
Whose name is Corona 
And chieftaincy tittle Covid-19
In the air, he pitches his throne
Dethroner of the world powers
Whose slaves soar by the ticktock
What a mighty king you are!
Fever and Flu are his henchmen
Cough is the general of his army. 


_What does your people call me?_
O King! Your name is  pandemic
Someone said you are China Virus
But my people call you the Rapture
And try to fight you with their  blunt weapon
at least, blunt for this course.

_What do I you call?_
I call you the unforeseen foe
The adversary of the globe
When will I play with friends on the playing ground?
Worship at kirk and study at halls of ivy?
With bustling cities now Olympic national park.
                                                                              -Oladosu Oladapo.
