Of COVID-19

Of COVID-19 people ailing and dying
And many supermarket shelves are empty due to panic buying
Brought on by fear of having to self isolate at home from the new pandemic disease
In the mind full of fear there is no peace or ease
Those involved in panic buying of food and toilet paper only does think of their own need
Fear for the survival of self which does give rise to extreme greed
Those into panic buying seem lacking in empathy
And are of the non compassionate side of humanity
It is true that fear can be a survival thing
And the praises of living for self only many happy to sing
But in this time of COVID-19 the generous, compassionate and kind
Of the needs of others are not of closed mind
And these are the people that we ought to admire
Since goodness in others they try to inspire.
