CORONA´S SPEECH

Corona’s Speech- The Queen of the Globe

The promised year 2020 has finally come!
all of you are now on a preventive detention....

all your daily rounds & earthly concerns
are in an undetermined suspension …

whether you have a full or empty brain,
you all need a cleanup campaign…

whether a scholar, a daily worker or an insane
residing in mansions or sleeping under the rain
your (high or low) position in the hierarchy is now vain…

whether a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or Jew
you’re all guilty of being greedy and inhumane....

you’re all on an equal footing and now subject to disdain
seems confusing?? No problem, I’ll explain…

Come on guys!

every one of you shall review his evil deeds and repent
otherwise I’ll come and cut the breath in your lungs…

the one who robbed, oppressed, kidnapped or lied…
& those who opted for apartheid…

the one with corruption & vices preoccupied
& those whose jobs & crowns are unjustified…

the ones whose diplomas and “chairs” are never certified
& those who nepotism and favoritism prioritized…

the cunning, the betrayer, the adulterer
& the ones before the webcam with legs untied…

the ones who allowed Envy in their hearts to reside
& their egos glorified and gratified...

the sorcerers whose terrible crimes can never be verified
& the gossipers who spread rumors worldwide...

the ones who enjoyed insults, blasphemes and obscenities
& whose filthy tongues have never tasted fluoride…

the ones who have mountains of money to hide
but never accepted Miss.Charity as a bride...

the corrupt, the fraudulent, the swindler
& the ones telling perjuries with such a pride...

the ones who used violence in their homes & outside
& mistook it for power unparalleled and justified...

those who cheat in measures and weights to put filthy money aside
& ruined their consumers with their disguised insecticide…

the ones who profit from their posts to harass the weak
& their insatiable desires and bellies deified…

who neglected and disgusted the poor and down-trodden
and their agonies ridiculed and intensified …

who used religion to reach high ranks even though unqualified
& those disobeying parents and their hearts ossified …

who blackmailed their citizens and their lands occupied:
killed & slaughtered thousands with weapons magnified...

who brainwashed and orchestrated wars worldwide
or invisible viruses in labs developed and modified ...

who used knowledge to make bombs, fill tombs and commit genocide.
& who polluted the globe and shouted “We are freedom personified!”

who disbelieved and claimed “Lord is Dead ” with pride
mind you God’s wrath may inflict us but His Mercy is to none denied…

O guys! After all this, why are you still perplexed & terrified ?
taste now this “detention” ! You may get truths clarified…

All of you are now guilty and imprisoned with no exception worldwide!

Still have arguments and pretexts??? No! No! You’re unjustified!!
What? Some of you are angels and innocent from all crimes?!
Sorry guys, didn’t you keep silent? This is a crime against humanity!
Why didn’t you cry out loud? Didn’t you withhold truths as if satisfied?
this makes you accomplices, even if you feel in the off-side…

Corona is not a terrorist! Hey guys, don’t need to be horrified!
I have no weapons, no explosive belts, not even a biological bomb….

I’m not on earth for a premeditated homicide!
I am the voice of Justice…meant to invade your dormant hearts & minds…

I am your dead Conscience, a mysterious messenger unspecified…
YES! The one (by writers, foretellers & filmmakers) prophesied…

I am one of the Divine’s soldiers…have you never heard of us?
if you pray and beg the All-Merciful bona fide
I’ll get eclipsed step by step with no trace behind…

I have no shape, no smell, no color to be identified
but my powers (like that of the All-Seeing Lord) cannot be visually testified…

You made me laugh, believe me!
You look ridiculous with your masks & gloves…

How weak is your faith and how shallow are your minds!
Where is your ego? Your arrogance? No longer dignified?!
Where is your power? Your political muscles? No longer ratified?!

Have you really missed the world’s hustle and bustle?
artists…celebrities…parties…football…and all those futilities?

Come on guys!
aren’t you ashamed of your personas?
is Rihanna or the team of Barcelona more famous than me now Corona??!

all the news and channels are now talking about me…
magazines, newspapers and webpages are racing to contain me
doctors, experts and researchers are begging me to unveil my face
governments, princes and the army went crazy with my grace…

I travelled the whole world and arrested minds with my speed
oblivious to all your opposing beliefs, breeds and creeds…
I stopped the clock of economy and made Time bleed
When will your clean your inner garden from all the weeds?
When will you plant and care only for the fruitful seeds?
If only you had done that…your salvation would have been guaranteed…

now all the chapters of your life, you need to reread:
that of Morality is on the top if you want to succeed…
that of Hygiene, God’s expectations, you need to exceed ...
that of Touch, you must carefully heed...
that of the Family, you have to reconsider and proofread...
that of Money, you have to revise and think of those in need...
that of Time, learn to save and invest in fruitful acts indeed!

Why am I furious??

Well, your corruption has transgressed all bounds!
All the laws, oaths and rules you broke or put aside
even the laws of nature, you nullified!
crimes, you enjoyed & diversified!
morality, you silenced & crucified!
religions, you disremembered & belied !!
prophets, you marginalized & derided !
God’s Entity, you mocked & denied!

Damn you! Who’s gonna stop you!
Who’s gonna resurrect your faith in your Creator?
Who’s gonna cleanse your hearts?
Your families & parents, failed!
Your schools & universities, failed!
Your mosques & churches, failed!
Your rulers & leaders, failed!
The mainstream mass media, failed & lied!

aren’t you conscious that you -the human race,
with the brain gift, you were distinguished & fortified?
& over all other creatures, you were prioritized?

Alas, God’s Trust, you accepted but put aside
and with Lucifer (instead) allied…

When will you stop worshipping mere humans?
How come a sum of head, trunk and limbs is glorified?!!
Football players, singers, actors, models, comedians…
and the list of trivial humans is unspecified…

why didn’t you take doctors and scientists,
or researchers and inventors as a guide?
who stood on the frontline to fight against me?
who sacrificed his time and health to unearth me?
who offered his chest for illness & death?
while others behind walls holding their breath?

Why don’t you listen to authors & poets too?
the ones who have mystical insights beyond your brain,
the ones who are often judged abnormal or insane…

Well,

forgive me right now…
I’m done with this “farewell speech”
I shall leave and die soon…

I hope you ceased to amplify your self-worth
& accepted this “pause for thought” ordained by Mother Earth ...

and if you reshuffle your cards & restate your priorities and concerns…
you may deserve the coming relief and mirth…

Sorry again for locking your down in your homes
had no other choice to grab your attention
& reduce your hypertension…

had to deprive you of many divine gifts, you took for granted...
had to take some souls to scare you & make you believe…
but don’t feel depressed ….no… no… don’t grieve…

even the dead ones are for God deemed as martyrs…
you don’t need to shed tears…

Now…
your supplications & prayers reached the sky
and God now ordained me to tell you good bye…

time has come for me to quit the land I surprisingly occupied ....

the floor is yours now to have your souls purified…

as if we were acting in those movies of Hollywood…
but its director (this time) is not Clint Eastwood…

as if we lived together a collective nightmare…
and none on earth (whosoever) had I to spare…

that was Mother Nature’s unleashed cry in the air
to freeze life on earth and about her care…

that was a global lesson to teach you how to be fair
& on the oath of Justice to solemnly swear...

to learn that total (instead of smart) freedom is a snare
for in the absence of human or Divine Constraints,
the floor is left for chaos and despair …

that was the All-Seeing God’s wink to peoples everywhere
to thank Him for the (disremembered ) welfare …

that was a tangible proof to dissipate all doubts
about the Supreme Ruler in his Divine Chair...

don’t be sad… relax now since you’re totally aware…
yet make TRUTH your guide and always support and share…

be among those who are likely to transcend and bear
afflictions with patience and for spiritualities have a flair…
