DIVIDED WE GAIN …UNITED WE
REFRAIN
Of
late the world has gone topsy turvy thanks to an ubiquitous menace,
The
talk of the town, forget, the whole world is quivering in its custody,
Crowning the whole world by land, air or seas,
the corona and its vise.
Cricket is a great leveler, they oft say,
Hear, Corona is a great champion,
Prince and the pauper, Minister and the
mundane, all now in detention,
Forced to forego earthly pleasures, Mercedes,
Audis all in the stallion,
Rooted firmly, rarely enjoying homely exile,
idling, with no exception.
Laws of the land rewritten, everyone is in the
pangs of imminent death,
Social distancing, suspicion of one’s own
shadow, the watchword of late
Everywhere, lockdown is reigning supreme,
enforced by word of mouth.
Most of works done from home, works well with
techies of every state.
Office works slowed down, permitting enforced
absence and in standstill,
Every hospital is full, their staff working
tirelessly, so too the Khaki men,
Earning the brickbats for their efficiency,
yearning for the desire and skill,
Sacrificing their own safety, sweating for the
welfare of their brethren.
Think about the aftermath, this may work well as a short term measure,
The global recession downsizing the workforce everywhere and more,
Loss of the dollar leading to depression and stress related nightmare,
It needs a Herculean task, globally to reconstruct us from the quagmire.
Forget a minute about them, just ponder where all these lead us to, finally,
Forced by law to stay away from work or to stay away from their surround,
Remain detached from all, yet to join hands to fight this deadly calamity,
Divided by law to stay united, a paradox , for the society to remain sound.
