COVID-19 PANDEMIC

12 Mar 2021 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}      

Did you emerge to this planet by yourself? 
or, did you evolve with the aid of human beings? 
These pertinent questions would remain unanswered, until 
the world finds a lasting remedy for it. (Virus of individualism.) 
The devastation caused to human lives is immense. 
Caused without rhyme or reason. 
Precious life is taken away suddenly. 
This was meant to last for some time. 
But, it is snatched without any warning, only symptoms are visible. 
What a cruel way of snatching life 
disguised like a thief no discrimination shown towards young or old 
are snatched oblivious of the fact 
the manner humans emerged from the womb of their mothers. 
Spare us so that people may enjoy their lives until they fade away
fertility of life is exposed by your sinister action. 
Creation is challenged and the entire existence is threatened 
leave us alone and you go away is my humble pleading 
you have made us Prisoners virtually, brought down to our knees confined to a house. 
Movements restricted, employment affected, with economy too shaken 
otherwise, we would be compelled to live languishing in a time of worry, anxiety and uncertainty by walking through the-valley of the shadow of death. 
Listening to an on-going debate whether to bury or cremate the dead bodies.
