Peace Amidst the Chaos

The earth is spinning, everyday life is thriving

A news broke out, a pandemic is ongoing

Chaos ensued, people began to panic and hoard

The world changed in a blink, it’s as if it has pulled out a cord

Community quarantines by countries were imposed

Cafes, resorts, cinemas, and even malls were ordered closed

In a moment, the world halted and stood still

The pandemic however, was on a rampage, threatening people to kill

Millions had been affected, leaving countries to tend for themselves

Thousands kept in ventilators, supermarkets had empty shelves

Airplanes were grounded, so were the ships and buses and every transport

Wealthier countries tried helping by giving out support

The world is chaotic, it is full of troubles and fear

Every person holding on to life and anything they hold dear

Anxiety is evident in every person’s pair of eyes

Indeed, this is something no one imagined to arise

In this time of discord and mess, there’s still peace from above

One that makes one’s heart be at ease, a peace filled with love

Coupled with this comfort is a God-given hope

One that tells us that surely, this, we can cope

Into you, Lord, we put our hope and trust

The imbalance, chaos, and pandemic, to You we entrust

Please protect our front liners, please heal our land

Rid us of our every fear, embrace us with Your loving hands
