No prophecy would have prepared us
No diviner would have best explained it
Nothing would have warned us enough
It was simply unique and uniquely bizarre
Indeed, the herald of a new decade
This time it came with many peals
For some peals of laughter, for others, the opposite
Like a thief in the night
Appeared the unannounced war
The world best foot soldiers could not counterattack
It was not a battle for the strong
Even the skilled had to double check
Swords, arms and strengths failed
This fight was with an unforeseen army
At once the world braced up
We would either face it or be faced out
The brave warriors arose
Definitely gender had no role to play
Women and men who understood they were born for such a time as this
Our true heroes, some of whom fell in combat
Threatening like Goliath whilst dropping men dead
We soon realized it was not an empty threat
The monster came pretty much prepared
Confounding even the wisest nations
And confirming the sovereignty and magnitude of a great God
Of course it will fall, exactly like Goliath
Defeated and its carcass given to the birds of the air
Whilst we hang on to faith and hope becomes a treasure
We will overcome, one day at a time
Although the future might seem uncertain
And stability might be beaming only from afar
We must keep holding up
Making the best of every blow dealt us
And be assured that........last last, we will be alright
