You Must Go!

• Amelie Hemmings, Grade 8

• 2021

Something deadly and contagious has landed on earth,
Spreading like a wildfire,
Always to return,
I am left to isolate all by myself,
Feeling alone, and feeling like nothing can help,
I can’t visit my friends in Sydney or Perth,
Or around the world, this virus just hurts,
Killing people that I love and know,
Quarantine sometimes just comes and goes,
Every time you are sick you have to stay home,
Not sure how long this virus will roam,
With every panic buy,
The cases are high,
Killing millions around the world,
I have three words for this virus,
YOU MUST GO!
