COVID 19

COVID 19, COVID 19, COVID 19,
Where did you come from , you formidable beast!
Was it the markets ? or from a conspiracy lab?
It is not settled yet for the least.

Killing thousands is your play, 
More ghastly than can compare.
"To Be or Not to Be" 
like Prince Hamlet said in despair.

Your pen name the 'Corona' 
because you have the crown.
taking advantage of our body, 
our end is not too far. 

You are still not defeated, Oh king of war
Your battle cry is heard from not too far
bearing the consequences it is to seem 
loss is not acceptable for all it gleams.

Why have we not thwarted , a pathogen like you, 
we have eradicated Small pox and are close to finishing the Polio 
The world is in our hands, though slightly of tune, 
yet , it is like too soon. 

The clarion call of the world leaders we must heed, 
Social Distancing &  washing hands  with soap.
Hugging & shaking hands we must avoid
as to flatten the curve we must persevere .

Saluting the medical teams for all their efforts,
without their furtherance we would have been in despair.
Sacrificing their life for their patients, 
We are more blessed than it seems. 

My friends, worry not, 
There is a silver lining in this cloud of grey, 
Corona with its deadly glare
can only kill if we give up the fight.

We should stay healthy & strong 
at all costs, 
As what frightens the COVID 19 
is a healthy body the most!
