The Corona Virus


This chaos, my dear, leads to tumult
Of the churning mind on soft pillow
Pulling all images to smack
With just a gust of strange bang
Of the virus that impelled the mankind
To play hide and seek.

Humans are hidden in their dens
Day and night
Night and day
Peeping out of the windows to behold
The rising and falling of the sun
And the hottest blow of arid air
That squeezes out the saved oomph
That once propelled to lurk
Amidst the meandering rills.

Patient less oozing tarnishes the inner force
Day by day & night by night
In the gully of the lone balcony.
Unspoken tales are mimicked and forlorn
On the concrete terrace by the evening
With no evidence of smile.

We wait day long for the evening to fall
To babble to some known faces
About the battle we overcome oft
Fighting with the rumble of exult.
This day shall pass, my dear,
With a bash of bliss waiting ahead
To have a giant leap in the annals
Of humanity we ever love to rejoice.
