A LITTLE THANKS FOR THOSE WHO DESERVE SOMETHING GREATER

The pandemic has envisaged us

We too have been creating a fuss,

The lockdown doesn't seem unknown now

To keep distance has been our vow,

We have been enclosed in our luxurious nests

While frontline workers have been put to test,

Doctors have worked day and night,                                                                                     

Ward boys have put in all their might,

Nurses have changed drips

The paramedics have run infinite trips,

Plenty of flowers on them have been showered

Many of them have been put to graves lowered,

The garbage picker has collected trash

As neglecting his duty might have been rash,

Delivery boys have rung bells

Hoping that you keep well,

Security personnel have guarded ways

Keeping watch on all days,

NGOs have delivered food

As to the poor, the world has been rude,

Worker trains have run on tracks

The driver has constantly been at maps,

Cashiers have counted money all day long

Ensuring that people do not queue along,

Vehicles have gone to all corners

Ensuring supplies reach across borders,

Reporters have still been reporting live

Compelling truth to thrive,

Courts have kept doors ajar

To help justice shine like a star,

Bureaucrats have fought for public rights

So that democracy reaches new heights,

Farmers have plowed pretty hard

To ensure none is hunger scarred,

Nature too has done its bit

Sending us sweet melodies from the tits,

God has shone his guiding light

Indicating there's hope in near sight,

The situation is tight

But we need to keep up the fight,

Let's join our hands

To form seamless humanitarian bands.
