A poem by Janet adegoke

Title- When the plague came

When the plague came they were ill prepared
So it ravaged them and the damage could not be compared

When the plague came they couldn't cross the border
"Run home" they said! "Go and stay with your mother!"

When the plague came the leaders couldn't flee
They were stuck with the system they disrupted and the citizens entered a state of jubilee

When the plague came the world powers bowed
People who formerly wanted to start a war began to cower and cry aloud

When the plague came the religious zealots where no where to be found
"Pay your tithes and offerings! Or else this disaster will abound!"

When the plague came they panicked for a cure
"Help us" they cried!!! "This pain we cannot endure!"

When the plague came sanity began to be restored
Industries were closed, traffic, excess parties and other forms of  madness were abhorred

When the plague came people paid more attention to details
Wash your hands, clean your homes, and do everything that neatness entails

When the plague came people began to see clearly
Most of the activities we engage in are unnecessary I say this sincerely

When the plague came humanity felt the chill
They cried out to God and he said onto them "peace be still"
