Everything went as normal,
      Humans were free to live life as the usual,
      Then, covid-19 outbreak arrived,
      Everything changed.


      At first it was taken lightly,
      Humans were nonchalant and refused to act,

      Many have been impacted,
      Workers were laid off,
      Salaries reduced,
      Source of income lost,
      But, not everyone has given up,
      We have learnt to cooperate and fight,
