We Will Meet-Never

On a gay midnight, you arrived with a bang
to boisterous wishes, bright lights and fireworks
revelry, celebrations and welcome song
holding, for a better world, a lofty promise.

It's horrendous how you deceived us with sweet words
you threw the world into a vicious quagmire
and dreadful billions cooped up in their homes
or left stranded on streets, hungry and homeless.

The millions of sick and dying in hospitals,
the unnamed graves will never be forgotten.
For the mayhem you have unleashed on millions 
of world citizens, you will never be forgiven.

Ruthlessly you took away some of our most loved ones
we watched them go - miserable, disconsolate and heartbroken.
Farewells are painful but it will be a relief to bid you goodbye
'until we meet again' is a statement forbidden for you, year 2020.
