We Survived!
We Survived!
The year would be 2060
Sitting in the armchair this generation, now senile, sips hot tea
And co-incidentally its storytime
Nostalgia would be at its prime
The tales of bravery I’ll tell with pride
Chronicle of every hero, who in this despairing situation, vigorously tried
I’ll tell of the days when the streets of the cities and towns went silent
When this unsettling peace felt worse than the violence
I’ll remember that fateful year when going out was equivalent to a crime
Where taking a stroll on the road could cause you a hefty fine
What happened to your fundamental rights? The younger generations would ask
Explaining this complicated situation would indeed be an interesting task!
A virus so small, which couldn’t even be seen by the naked eye
Humored at humanity’s progress, as so many helplessly died…
I’ll tell of the times when chaos engulfed the entire world
Hoping for a miracle with unease every night in the blanket we curled
The nightmares seemed pleasant, as reality was haunting
Towards faith, passion and religion, people tur
ned, for solace and comforting
As life became cheap, survival indeed became expensive
The worst is yet to come, the world was apprehensive
But not lost was all the hope
To fight this disease together world coped
Wearing their suits and masks everyday our superheroes fought
About the courage of a common man, even the future generations would be taught
At the end of the war the result was rather devastating
But the unyielding yearning people were never tired of waiting
I’ll tell of the glorious day when we successfully averted this disaster
Everyone danced, and the roads again echoed with cheers, chants and laugher
Next day as the sun rose every person mourned for the martyrs and the dead
That night everyone serenely went to bed
In this twisted reality where happy endings are rare to find
It was indeed a brand new era for mankind
Although the chapter is over the book is not yet finished
The epilogue is being written as the resources replenished
But in conclusion I’ll say with head held high and overflowing with pride
Just two words “We survived!”
