Title: Part 2-In the Blink of an Eye
A Poem following on from Part 1-In the Blink of an Eye
The world was about to wake from its slumber
Unaware that all was about to crumble
From China came the numbers
Then the virus went over the borders
Travelling across oceans and over land
One by one it played its selective hand
A world-wide pandemic was declared
Covid-19 was now the word
The media soon sensed the fear
And so, it notched it up another gear
Panic set in amongst the masses
Acting before everything crashes
Supermarket shelves were looking bare
Toilet paper especially was becoming rare
In the blink of an eye as the days went by
Laws were passed in which all had to comply
Stay at home and wear a mask
Obey, or the Police will take you to task
There will be no warnings when given a fine
By not following the rules will now be a crime
Do not dissent or neither protest
Otherwise, you will be under arrest
In the blink of an eye, all your freedoms are gone
That is now the message, whether it be right or wrong
