Hey there! I’m Corona
\nWell, Corona means ‘a crown’
\nI’m now crowned king of social media
\nAnd have become talk of the town.<\/p>\n

In less than a month I shot to fame
\nAnd haunted every dream
\nAnd managed to go from person to person
\nFaster than a viral meme<\/p>\n

But I’m not as scary as it seems
\nMy mortality rate is low
\nBut one simple sneeze could infect 10 others
\nIs what makes me scary though.<\/p>\n

But I feel sad that no one saw
\nThe good habits that I taught
\nAs well as the change in lifestyle
\nThat my sudden scare had brought.<\/p>\n

The lonely wife got her husband back
\nAs the workaholic now stays at home
\nPeople lost blind faith in God
\nAs they shut Mecca, Vatican and Rome.<\/p>\n

People abroad came back home
\nFrom all the foreign lands.
\nAnd these dirty humans FINALLY learnt
\nTo properly wash their hands.<\/p>\n

Some habits should’ve been around since long
\nBut it’s me who made humans wiser
\nThey finally cover their mouth while coughing
\nAnd carry a hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n

And after being placed on international borders
\nScreening every passenger on Earth
\nPeople finally saw the sacrifice
\nGiving doctors their rightful worth.<\/p>\n

So I, Corona, taught you good habits again.
\nAnd an ideal lifestyle was found.
\nOnly that no one could see it that way
\nBecause death lurked around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
