Wash Your Hands

by Ashraf Al Deen   Apr 29, 2020


A new type of #Coronavirus came
and commanded:
Stay Home, you arrogant humans!
keep a respectable distance
don't come any closer
And wash your dirty hands, yes!
#wash_your_hands!

Like in a war zone, the command came
overwhelmingly too fast and
reached every corner of the world;
reached every individual with
the threat of death, and
everyone in all countries on earth
ran to Lockdown itself to #stay_home,
to #stay_safe from the harm!

People are running away from death
locked in their homes;
offices, schools, businesses all are closed
there is no one to be seen in
markets, beaches, stadiums and roads!
Factory chimneys are not vomiting
poison in the air,
no one has time to kill
innocent lives: animals, birds and
other beautiful creatures on Earth.
Routed people are no more playing with
deadly wars, bombs and rockets
killing innocent people and staining their
hands with blood!

Still the command comes in silent echoes:
#Wash_Your_Hands!
Wash Your Hands!
Have the people learnt anything?

#Wash_Your_Hands, #Coronavirus, #StayHome, #StaySafe.
