This poem is the crux of most problems we are experiencing. In the AA Steps book it says in the 4th step, the root of our shortcomings is FEAR. You have nailed it.

This senryu, Ugly Wakeup Call, presented as a 5-7-5, brings the reader and the world to the realization that Yes a mask can save your life.

Yes masks are a must to stop the spread ..
I believe even Trump has finally seen why ..
Being the President of America , He should have been the first to give the proper( life saving) example...
Thank you for reviewing my wee poem.
PS: Interesting avatar ..
about a month ago I wrote a 5-7-5 on these creatures that lurk the Abyss but I just haven't got around to posting it.
This one in particular depicted I had not yet seen, though.
All the ones I saw had very visable long sharp teeth.

That is one fabulous senryu. Wow! And so timely too. I liked how you described Covid as "the enemy so small" - yet its destructive power caused "mankind to crawl, fall."
A very strong message. I must compliment you on a brilliant artistic presentation and photo.
I am impressed. You've got my vote. Good luck.

To me, the bravest people in the world are fighting the virus in hospitals today. Putting their live in danger constantly. What a wonderfully written poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

With out doubt .. I 'm scared stiff just to go shopping once a week ..
Medical staff are amazing ..
that's why it is a disgrace that many worked ( and died) during the peak of the pandemic because they were not supplied with the proper protection gear..
Hopefully this won't happen during the second wave
Thank you for sharing!
