The Sunup!
Will we on earth soon see the Sunup
from this horrendous pandemic sundown?
It provides us with zero light of hope,
And mostly, we fail in the effort to lop off.
Experience can we a good-health- dawn,
Devoid of mask and soap and distance?
Lost some folks have, their bread-earning- jobs
And some other souls had to shut down shops.
Livelihood is at the edge of Covid swords,
So, some people, beyond earth, seek solace.
Starving stomachs and tearing eyes
Narrate vast sagas of frantic lives.
Covid has primed its mighty tool,
Aiming at all, who happens to fall
In front of his pity-waning views,
To bite them bitterly, ending their lives.
Despite our age, stance or strength,
Young, old, male, female, rich, poor
Fat, petite, ugly, pretty and all fall prey
to the ailment's villainous mouth.
The ladder for Covid to climb to man's lungs
To fight the battle with him is Corona Virus.
Soap and mask and distance from talk-mates
Drives away the
virus, keeping your body fit.
What you can do is to survey well, things
And embrace safe and precise measures.
Chase the foe away and wipe it off forever
Using your wit and might to permit it, never.

Love the last stanza, Prayaga! A very good close. It is a big fight back and agreed we are not to give in!
