COVID 19_A Cobweb
Waheeda Aamir
A bolt from the blue
A pandemic in human zoo
No hue and cry but silence
A queer horror prevailed
For aeon in the whole world
Institutes, offices, markets suddenly
Closed un-expectedly, irrevocably
Hitherto test and trial present
A curse from high heaven
Or an ordeal for human
Not mere things but...
People are in topsy turvy
All affected from all tiers
Conspicuous changes
Abruptly happened
Hugs, greetings
No more meetings
Social distancing as necessary
As a dame wears accessary
Now sanitizers, masks
Are like vital tasks
Millions,millions die
De facto a truth not lie
Lucky art those alive
Die gratia survive
But....
Dark night is followed by a ray
Surely, surely a braw day
Let that day come
Let that day come
