BATTLE OF WITS
by John Yeo
The answer always at the end of the fingertips
We are sure it will never drift far out of reach
Beating the virus is becoming a battle of wits.
The world has been overtaken by a mutual crisis
Nations collaborating and sharing the research
The answer always at the end of the fingertips.
~
The death toll mounting widespread contagion befits
A closedown of society, widespread fear of defeat
Beating the virus is becoming a battle of wits.
Confinement essential borders just close to friendship
Perhaps death and sickness have a lesson to teach
The answer is always at the end of the fingertips.
~
Science searches desperately for a vaccine to contain it
Prayers for the families with no solution to the breach
Beating the virus is becoming a battle of wits.
The rallying call to the carers, healers and medics
To stem the tide of desperation with a caring outreach
The answer was always at the end of the fingertips.
Beating the virus has become a battle of wits.
