Reflection!

Time for reflection in this mirrored event,
What was taken for granted is relevant,
Walks through parks, the holding of hands,
The virus tires us with other plans,
No barbecue lighting, inviting of friends,
Exciting events at auditoriums,
Cards for payments preferred over cash,
The virus treads, spreads itself like a rash,
Burrows its sorrows under the skin,
Damaging, dismantling, malfunctioning,
Silent, deadly as blows are dealt,
A caustic, callous killer of health,
An unknown commodity boasting of strength,
A potent obnoxious ingredient,
Graded as alien, flailing contempt,
Parading as flies around excrement,
Antagonising ailments, disadvantaging the weak,
Encouraging the failing of a sick physique,
Blatant, barbarian, brutal, blunt,
Delivers the crucial, futile crunch;
That final deliberation,  one last breath,
The fatal state of facing death,
Yet thousands have succumbed to this,
A worldly trend of loved ones missed,
Ballistic in their helplessness
With disbelief they don't exist,
Twists and turns in the welfare state,
Survivors alive to remonstrate,
Antagonised by their loss of kin,
Fate has signed their suffering,
Lines of coffins, lives extinct,
Strangers with a common link;
Victims of a lethal disease
Affecting people`s inadequacies,
Woeful, spiteful as bullets from a rifle,
Wounds and kills, is undeniably liable,
A hostile virus, savage with craze
Takes no prisoners, no hostages saved,
Deals with business of a satanic beast,
One aim to attain; increasing the deceased,
Feasting on the glory of motionless lungs,
Mission accomplished to its maximum.
Time for reflection in this mirrored event,
What was taken for granted is relevant!
