Dim! 

Dim! (footsteps)

Troops of soldiers

Arms on their shoulders.

Walking fearlessly

Stationed throughout the borders.

Dealing ruthlessly

with anyone found within their corners. 

There has been a glitch in order

Since the upgrade of this virus

Leading to a lockdown order.

Men in fear and hunger.

Schools shut down.

Routes and crannies of the streets, 

locked down.

Men isolated in their shelters

Living in a financial meltdown.

Before now, things were better

Even without butter.

Streets bubbling and gurgling

Men Kissing and cuddling

Handshake and hugging. 

This virus is Still a rumor 

But, to some, it's real.

Rich nor poor it knows no border.

Sneezing and coughing still going on.

Hand-cloves and Nose mask,

Please! put them on.

This pandemic has made nations poorer.

Numbers of infected persons keeps rising.

The death toll climbing.

Vaccines, still searching.

With NGO's and their donations

Cash and provisions

Yet, the poor are starving.

There! is a glitch in order.

Since an upgrade of this virus

A doctor died in his quarter,

Leaving his wife in disorder. 

Children running helter-skelter

In fear, of their haters.

Neighbors starving in their shelters.

There!! has been a glitch in order.

Six escaped due to hunger

At there quarantine center

To get their own quota.

Leading to a lock-down,

Within states and their borders. 

Foodstuffs lavishing in their numbers.

Restriction in and out of the borders.

Federal and state government in loggerheads,  

Due to this locked down order. 

There is a glitch in orders.

The office of the accountant general is on fire! 

Donations and statistics in order.

Plans of looter discarded.

F.G seeking for aid,

Since an upgrade of this virus.

With china within our borders to save us.

Men are curious and furious at their mission.

This lock-down order

Was meant to curtail this virus

And not to mop us off

from the earth's surface.

NCDC and PTF at their best 

To conserve us from this virus!. 

God please,

save us!

With these glitches! in order.
