Musings

It’s an epidemic,

No, it’s a Pandemic!!

Shout one and all

From radios and rooftops

Today, it’s only

Virus this,

And Virus that.

Alas! no one comes out and says

Why is this,

And why is that?

We just rode along

The waves of life,

Not a beat we missed

For lives destroyed.

Never gave a thought,

How others survived

The plants and the animals,

That too on this planet thrived.

This is for me, and this is for mine,

To keep me happy, nothing’s a crime,

Some things I got, some I stole

Unknowing there is only so much I can hold!

In my race to be first,

I trampled and destroyed,

The very earth which gave me birth.

I poisoned the waters,

That would quench my thirst,

I polluted the air,

That lovingly had cared.

I have it all, I now felt,

The pot of gold is in my reach.

But alas! The sentence by the jury

With Mother Nature in full fury

They had a lesson to teach.

I have been humbled,

That too, by a Virus

Which I bloody well cannot SEE.
