Staying Home

By Ndaba Sibanda

Staying Home

You taught me new things
For you came with strings

You set conditions and actions:
Keep away from social interactions

If you seek victory over me: self-isolate
Avoid handshakes, hugs, kisses as you greet!

You taught me to observe personal hygiene
In a better light, to invite all souls to intervene

These are unmatched times of social distancing
Mass closures of entities, a shift in everyday living

Did I know that you are a new reality, a pandemic?
Daily life you hamper, your wings unselective, epidemic

An enemy of humanity, you are beatable, indiscriminate
Our health heroes, here they strategise, swing to eliminate!
