Untouchable

The fight was nearly coming to an end,

Or was it put to a halt,

As a silent killer approached,

Terminating an age old practice of untouchability due to caste, region, religion!

This offender has created a new segment,

Splitting up the loved ones from being next to each other,

When a mother can’t touch her newborn,

A son can’t stroke the creases formed on his dying father’s forehead,

Lovers unable to connect even if 10 feet apart,

Any person being rebuked when out in the public,

Humanity having no presence physically but only on social media,

Oh you wretched coronavirus, 

You have made everyone and anybody untouchable!
