COVID 19 still lurks and claims many lives
Parents, siblings, husbands and wives

It’s a war against an unseen foe
A war to be won by lying low

We are the troops, untrained though we be
Obedience to rules, is the vital key

We save our lives and that of others too
If we strictly do what we are told to

Wearing a mask and sometimes even two
Is heroic now and the right thing to do

Washing hands well and time and again
Will e’er be a blessing, and never a bane

Maintaining distance from one and all
For the virus too, creates a wall

Our commanders are the Docs, and the paramedics too
Who’re working really hard, with commitment so true

It’s a difficult time, let’s join hands as one
And ensure this COVID, out of the World, does run
