Covid Friend

A poem about a friend with covid-19

Fully vaccinated you say
Covid won’t come for you now.
But hey it still can and it did!
Grabbed my friend!
Took him to hospital.
Stuck him in a bed
Silenced and in dread
For he can’t breathe
Covid stole his oxygen
It ripped through his heart
Pumping it hard
Made it high alert and
Left him in the lurch
As Covid spindles about
Inside his skin,
Muscles and blood.
No way he can leave…
