E-Learning.

The value of something is known only when it is lost,

Today I have learnt it with the rest.

Having to learn from a distance,

I don't know how I will go through this trance.

Previously we had books in our laps, 

now we read up topics on our tabs.

Before, topics were said to be understood through a nod,

Now it is through Microsoft Teams and Nearpod.

Before we had to travel hard

To seek knowledge from libraries,

Now everything is available as it free 

with just one click of glee.

Having not being able to meet my friends

Is worse than meeting my end

But E Learning is the closest alternative to school tradition,

Visualising concepts in an interactive fashion.

I appreciate the teachers and the schools endeavour,

on not compromising the quality ever,

Come Corona or high water,

We will continue learning as ever!

So stay safe , Stay healthy,

if you dont want to be guilty,

of a crime you would commit unintentionally, 

of being a virus carrier unknowingly. 

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!

Homework

There is a thing teachers give,

Ought to help you organize.

It is homework, my friend,

That will last as long as you live.

 

Homework of all sorts,

To be completed on Sunday.

When we complain about it,

The teachers say ,”you have a weekend for a day!”

Homework for Hindi, English and History,

To complete by the weekend.

By all this pressure,

It will probably be my end.

Homework, Homework, Homework,

It is all that teachers say,

If this the state at 7^th

Imagine at 12^th grade!

Qualities that can change the world

Sympathy, Empathy and Compassion,
Life is a bliss,
The world need these not less than any fraction,
What can we say about this?

Fate in our hands.
Power, so strong,
To create or destroy,
It won't be too long,

When we realize,
The future change and so can we,
We won't think twice,
 on what we get to be..

Life so short,
It is breakable, it can be taken away,
the poverty that rises,
with people walking stray.

Why don't we change the world,
For the better, not worse.
Humanitarian issues like intolerance keep rising,
But can take a steep fall.

Why don't we be generous, be kind,
Future so close, yet so far.
Small contributions are more than enough,
Hopefully you all won't mind!

Family

There is a thing that people say,

That lasts longer than time.

We all think it the same way.

It is the family that last for a longtime.

The moments spent by family,

Is ought to be spent with happiness and splendor.

Family dearer than money,

Is what will last forever.

Dimes and nickels that people spend,

Will not always remain their true friend.

Family are those people who you can talk to.

Whenever you are feeling blue.

Family is granted to those fortunate,

Who are the apple of eye of god.

For those who are orphans living life with no love,

They are what generations call misfortunate.

Mother Nature

You gave us winds,

 that we used to follow your trail.

Boats we made,

To follow you without fail.

You kept the atmosphere,

In the Goldilocks zone.

We drunk in arrogance,

Made us sit on the throne.

We cut down your trees,

What you beautifully made.

All so magnificent lost.

As you creations began to fade.

You made floods.

That destroyed our lands.

You made storms,

That broke us down into strands.

Oh Mother Nature,

The world is not looking back,

On what you had to face,

This is the very humanity that us humans lack.

The pain you must of gone through,

To see your lovely creations destroyed.

Overthrown by your competitive children.

Oh, what have you bestowed!

Pain

Pain a condition,
That has haunted medicine and science,
Scientist go crazy thinking about this,
What else can go wrong.

It can drive a man hysterical,
maybe even mad
It strikes you like an arrow,
bearable not even for the strongest lad.

It can come in many ways,
Headache, ulcers & cramps,
It can be just a second,
or can last for days.

So why not a life of no pain?
luxury happiness & relaxation!
There would be nothing else to gain
now we wish we wish there was some kind of potion.

So my friends, we will have pain as long as we leave,
Until we become invincible,
so let us go with the flow
and become compatible.

Life a bargain,
Full of misery and joy,
There is no loss or gain
We are the warriors.

Pain includes a game of war,
Our responses flickering
Our brain confused,
Preventing us from enjoying.

What is the use of such a life,
Full of disappointment and sorrow,
Ah! Im tired.,
Let's continue tomorrow.
