Pandemic, 2020

Look, It's blooming and grooming the earth!

Felt blood rush seemingly seeing the rebirth.

We've seen burning in Amazon and Australia

And ignored the injustice in Kashmir and Syria.

Look, how Nature balanced the atmosphere!

The free birds, pure air never needed our care.

We tortured Her and She tends to fight back

As smoke, war, egoism are our special knack.

But I see hope as the world seems borderless,

The eyes of the front liners keep me fearless.

We sing from balcony, we crack jokes, we pray-

Just to assure, we still have hope and its ray.

In the darkest time, May we be at our brightest.

And let this time teach a lesson to the dumbest.

Nature heals itself faster than we think; So let-

Her have a chance by us slowing down to set.

The Ozone layer, water, air‐ they are now healing.

Why not let them heal stopping our daily dealing- Every year for a little while? We'll see a beginning. What we failed to do, this pandemic is slaying.

What does Nature really want? - a clearer sky,

Freedom of wildlife; So, nature had to give it a try!

What do we want? - industries, war and violence!

No, we all want the same but can't break the silence.
