Mankind has had a massive shock
From the Covid, that has talked the talk
It has laid us, completely flat and low
More than ever, in the years we’ve known
Yet mankind within, it’s own bright spark
It realises its errors, as it sits in the dark
And slowly but surely it begins to hope
A better new world, instead of sit’n mope
As families, huddled together at home
Some of us are alone and lonesome
Love’s come back to us, in difficult days
For who we haven’t had, for years a craze
Out of the house, a few lucky ones roam
O’er vales en green, as t’ world’s a-storm
By hapless police, get caught in the park
Or get a spot to survive, in Noah’s ark
As we watch, Planet Earth taking back
What it had lost under our human attack
We realise that perhaps and very much
Mankind must stop behaving as such
Google and Apple creating new apps
Gates and Microsoft filling in the gaps
As social distancing becomes the norm
Humans to stay away as per app inform
Living with other in happiness, harmony
With other creatures, lovely bugs & bunny
Countries too must immediately stop
Treating poor badly, so heal from d’shock
The only one way, some of us will make it
By keeping from other ‘an each every Brit
But more so also by respecting our planet
Unless we want to be called, a Covidiot!
