Controlled by fear,
The world hiding, it appears.
We are devastated by one thing - deaths,
The world crumbling from breaths.
Set sail by our desire for safety,
We forget the things - some things entirely.
Justice, respect, love and care,
This is because of the fear we bare.
People suffer from what can't be seen,
People fear: "where has this person been".
We forget that people are suffering,
When all we care is defending.
The spread of not just a deadly virus,
But also rumours spread from the mindless.
Spreading rumours that aren't true,
Discriminating the innocent of "wuflu".
We are all human, we are all one,
Don't give in to the virus like its won.
We can do things to prevent the spread,
Stop blaming, and help instead.
