RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Africa Spared
It is the great mystery of life
Why some are touched by nature’s strife
The fortunate are left alone
The reasons why remain unknown
The continent that has suffered much
Through famine, drought, and war
The virus that has ravaged many
Largely stopped at Africa’s door
Some say it is the way of life
They spend much time outside
Some say their very constitution
Allows them to abide
We know that their good fortune
Bodes well for the planet earth
It should be studied carefully
For all that it is worth
We may never know the reason why
Some were spared while others died
We wonder at the mystery
And pray our own will survive
