Analysis of A Sharp and Bitter Question
God is truth
Truth prevails, constantly
A sharp and bitter question;
Coronavirus started in Wuhan, China
Li Wenliang confirmed it
And warned Chinese authorities
He became a victim of that
A speedy spreading virus
Stays only in Wuhan since December 2019
However, it broke out
Towards the entire world
But not other parts of China
And its close neighbours
As speedy as in Europe and America
How China so quickly
Became aware of lockdown, which can save
From evil-minded and human-made virus
As known coronavirus
All weapon technology became worthless
In front of such a virus that can destroy
Not only humanity, trade as well
For new monopolies by new hands
The world is the victim of bio-virus warfare
As cancer, coronavirus, and such other diseases.
