Somnambulist Corona. Written by Nathaniel Z. Mpofu . A viral invasion, acquaintance by touch or breath And standing next to flesh and blood could be a touch of death The prescription's isolation, but the war's on social probation Common communion from the royal and the vagabond in every nation A modern-day Medusa stare-off with extinction. The fear in our face The global hope sucking dementor, but I'm so optimistic allow me to say grace At a chance to cradle your heart, warm your thoughts and impart A notion, to set in motion, emotion evoking reverie. Let this be the part Where you're convinced doubtless, the mustard seed must take heed For in it is my confidence, in providence congruent with our will to live You're not alone, my word's the epitome of all the good you believe No tribulation's set in stone, all threats of our demise will atone Here's our Declaration of Healing, on your PC, pad or phone Survival's in the marrow of our bone, by our mere birth this was sworn Of this tale we'll tell. When this battle we've won How we pleaded the fifth On house arrest for our souls to keep You see quarantine Is easily guaranteed Cobwebs in our craniums if creativity's a dearth Revisions of our dreaded to-do lists seemingly since birth And aren't we fortunate This came smack dab in the advent Of social media with phones the size of a plate Would you fathom a lockdown with the ancient Nokia 3310? Dementing boredom in every accent You can only play snakes and ladders for so long A limbo with an overheard song Some have even learned to cook Culinary crimes we've brought to book Interesting fact, did you know it in fact Takes 21 consecutive days for a habit to stick like a blood pact Ergo the equation below A beautiful science mellow as yellow: The human eye reads 200 words per minute and the average book holds 48 000 Reading for 45 minutes a day for 5 days folds 45 000 So vow, don't wow. How many books have you read? If your initial response' an excuse, I won't say that's sad.
