Damn you, Pandemics
By Tarif Youssef Agha
Damn you, pandemics, you keep killing us,
You keep taking beloved ones, whom we will never see again
And damn you, you savage killers,
You eat us alive in front of our beloved ones
From the Plague of the past to Corona of today,
Pandemics that claim victims days and nights
Damn you, all what you know is to harvest souls,
No medication helps and no pray saves us from you
And damn you, a killer even the law can’t stop,
Everyone is scared of you and you keep murdering us nonstop
Damn you, you don’t differentiate between old or young,
Or between those who are believers and those who are not
You are nothing but an execution sentence in delay,
No mercy to your victims, even if they dropped to their knees
You resemble the rulers of our countries,
Torturing us, then killing us
The memories of all those who were taken by the pandemic,
Will be kept as tears in the hearts of those who loved them
They left to another world,
We, one day, will also leave the journey of life
