Corona Taught us Something

By Sarah Khan

One tiny creature, we can't even see it

More dead than alive on the non-living surface

Never did I imagine, how it could multiply bit by bit

And panic ironically huge world so turgid

Nobody confirmed how it came into effect

From bats or snakes or pangolin

Starting from Wuhan city of China suspect,

With positive detections more than 1000 it did infect

China has become a prisoner of its own prison

Struggling with coronavirus in hospitals

None can go out nor can they enter the junction

With empty roads and other harsh decisions

A little organism and an exemplary country,

How it started with developed China?

On this Earth, rich & poor, all & sundry

Are helpless on the face of nature gallantry

Nature has the strength to terrify the whole world at an instant;

Humans are full of ego in everything they have

We fight for money, religion, caste & creeds unrepentant

Corona has brought these small issues down, so urgent

This is what nature has taught us-

Live with love and let others live, too

Show and express your love to loved ones with guts

Let peace revive everywhere, no fuss

Or else it's Corona, mona, shona whatever

If we wanna live, we ought to live with peace

Don't have pride and ego, today and ever

Because even money can't buy happiness or make you clever

It's life, my dear friends, it's life

As it comes, it will leave us all

The picture would be hung on the wall, no strife

The throne chair left empty only memories revive...
