COVID-19 Palliatives!

COVID-19 Palliatives
COVID-19 Palliatives in Nigeria
COVID-19 Palliative in Africa!

You share COVID -19 palliatives
As if you're COVID immune
Are you COVID immune?
You are stealing and looting
You are enjoying the looting
Of Mr. COVID-19 palliatives
As if you're COVID immune
Are you immune at all?
At all, are you immune?
As if you're God Himself!

You share COVID -19 palliatives:
To your family and friends
To your relations and acquaintances
To your neighbours and colleagues
To your hamlets and villages
To your LGA and zones
To your townsmen and statesmen
And not to Nigeria as a nation
And not to Nigerians as people
As if you're God Himself!

You share COVID-19 palliatives
As if you're COVID immune
Are you COVID immune?
You are relaxing and resting
You are enjoying the stealing
Of Mr. Coronavirus palliatives
As if you're COVID immune
Are you immune to it?
To it, are you immune?
As if you're God Himself!

This palliative is just an action
Intended to cushen the effects
Of coronavirus and make it less severe
Not actually to solve the problem
Neither is it a political sharing
To tidy all your ends!
