Blessings of God together with us,
Thought humans , why to fear, thus?
But in a sudden invasion came a virus ,
Spiky surfaces all around, ends life's fuss.
Fuss of lust, deception and conceit ,
Where shreds of lies could only cheat.
Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown everywhere !
People running for necessities, here and there..
Migrant workers trying to go so back.
But their Mayday calls, are very slack..
Relatives dying and we! just acting in a mime.
Disabled like lunatics, such is the grace of time!
This world of silent gossips, looks so bleak..
And it is the doctors whose help do we seek!
Corpses decay, limb by limb..
Wood trader sells free wood for burial, to the world so dim..
But in this lockdown ,we have indeed got connected
Through various ways, in the world so dejected ..
Reuniting bonds is on the run
And children with their parents, are having lot of fun!
Exotic birds are migrating galore,
Rivers are getting purified , more and more.
We are not marooned of our hope ..
As we are humans, and we'll surely cope!
Enjoying, laughing and cooking out
Tempting delicacies are what todays are all about..
Schools are closed , but knowledge is not .
Students and teachers together , has online teaching brought .
Although office members go unseen ,
This mode of working is very useful, the way it has been !
Wearing mask and PPE kits all day ,
E- passes are necessary, to go on our way.
Becoming couched potatoes, seldom we move around .
Locked in our houses, such has corona made us bound !
Scent of green grass and untouched sands,
But do say "Namaste" and shake no hands .
To prevent virus, follow the government .
And don't you cut wages of your poor servant!
Chat with your birds.. do it anyway !
And your feelings to your loved ones, you should just say!
This lockdown has brought creativity out .
Doing something is better than just to sit and shout!
Let it sink in , but Man! U just go on..
Take care of Mother Earth before you are gone !
Just take care of Mother Earth before you are gone!
