Questions plenty, answers a few
Human minds confused with novel
flu
Sufferings endless
With tiny virus clueless
Religious and polities dumb
Science and tech seem numb
Is this the beginning or the end?
Lost in pandemic dread
Health and wealth least valued
Rich and poor equally viewed
Cities and villages alike on
knees
Genius and ignorant both it seize
Castle, skyscraper, and hovel
White and blue collars at equal
level
No caste, no creed is so immune
Human race receded to its cocoon
Human pain unspeakable
Deaths and loss make life unstable
Developed and developing nations are in
cacophony
Competing with each other to raise the economy
Doctors, nurses, paramedics, social workers
Par-excellence frontline warriors
Clap hands, burn candles, voice the supremo
Who cares the poor, the migrants, else God
Divino?
Animals on road, humans in self-built cage
Witnessing nature’s rage
Wash hands, stay safe, a new norm
masks and gloves please, an additional storm
Temples, churches, mosques closed
Malls, shops, humanity paused
God within human heart, not in stone
Love and share, a blended cone
Who’s responsible for this
misery?
Is human, nature’s adversary?
Greed to possess more isn’t a
word
Amidst great crisis round the
world
While striving through
twenty-twenty
Life seems empty-empty
A tiny virus that shook the human race
Earned its fame on this space
