KEEP ON TO HIGHER GROUND
(a pandemic tribute to Stevie Wonder)
Virus, keeps on infecting.
Testers, keep on testing.
Contact tracers, keep on tracing.
Quarantine managers, keep on ordering.
Reporters, keep on reporting.
Ambassadors, keep on enforcing.
Doctors, keep on sending.
Food deliverers, keep on delivering.
People, keep on hiding.
Shoppers, keep on avoiding.
Shopkeepers, keep on sighing.
Economy, keeps on tanking.
Our hands, keep on washing.
Society, keeps on distancing.
Case numbers keep on rising.
Clusters keep on increasing.
Same statistics, keep on remaining.
Patients, keep on dying.
Leaders, keep on doing the same thing.
No wonder we have gone off-roading.
So, are we gonna keep trying?
Are we mere believers, just believing?
Or deep sleepers, just sleeping?
Higher ground, will we be reaching?
