One day the world will remember
When the year 2020
World Anthem was ‘Stay at Home’
It would be told to generations yet unborn
That people walked in the streets
With face masks like robbers concealing their identity
And hand gloves to avoid leaving the prints of a virus
On strategic locations where our friends and neighbors
Would get infected from
One day the world will remember
That hatred was built for our hands
For fear that they may hurt our lungs
It will be told that my country Nigeria
Who never knew the importance of keeping the hands clean
Became conscious of hand sanitizers, soap and every other form of cleaning agents
One day the world will remember
How we all taught a real game
Was only but a politicking coy
Clicking links and making digital money
When students waited patiently to meet themselves again
Rather than for academic work
One day the world will remember
How we conquered COVID 19 in 2020
Praying that history never repeats itself again
