Paused

In a flash like lightning
Tragedy struck

The night came at dawn
And failed to lose its grip on mother nature

Work, schools, churches, events
All paused like they never existed

Hugs, handshakes dreaded
Like everyone is leprosy stricken

Circumstances have a way of changing
Our perspective of life

The death toll is on the rise every day
And bodies packed like goods being shipped

Life presents itself with things that matter most
Naira or dollars can’t buy everything
