Pandemic, An Aftermath

There is something that has gone wild, 

Like a strong wind coming by.

Some scattered, some withered,

Gone somewhere I am bewildered. 

There is sadness in the heart,

Something has torn the cheerfulness apart.

Sleeplessness and restlessness, 

Are the things now people possess.

There is silence every where,

Like someone standing near a grave.

Lighting candles and ready for prayer,

This was not the path that was paved.

There is a story in these lines,

Of something lost in the pandemic times.

Now lots of burden, tears in the eyes,

Sorrow and pain, memories and thoughts.

This pandemic has changed many fates,

Now sadness in every corner awaits.

Poverty and unemployment to everyone it has given,

To the country which was for many no less than a heaven.
