A CORPSE BURIAL DURING COVID-19

In heaven, once God was very sad, as
Humans have become selfish, rude, and bad.

Our calm and cool nature has vanished.
We behaved like a hungry and angry beast.

We grew nasty, greedy, and cruel.
Instilled the practice of swearing as well.

Some strained the relationship between brothers.
While others have snatched the rights of the poor.

Our ignorance changed the crack of dawn.
A devil was born, and everybody began to mourn.

Dissolution is now occurring on Earth.
Most of us seem to be a monster’s rebirth.

Prayers reached to God:
Give relief from this Corona.
Everyone in your land is in mental trauma.

Almighty retorted:
Trauma existed even before the arrival of Corona.
That was the trauma of religious drama.

At least remove this so-called distance.
Whoa! Look the devil is perishing the Existence.

The celestial entity replied: Not me, you made this distance.
Recall that racial difference and your resistance.

It was the turn of the rage.
Life here is as same as in a cage.

The Divinity declaimed:
This cage is the deadly prison that you have invented.
Don’t you remember, for girls to keep them guarded?

Fear is stomping down on all of us.
Lakhs of lives were lost — what a curse.

Now it was the turn of the Almighty.
These are the result of dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Finally, we are facing so many troubles.
Every day, it is becoming double and double.

Melodious one is again ready to answer:
I don’t give trouble to everyone but to some.
Brave, courageous, and the one who can overcome.

Finally, some came forward and gave lives with all their might.
These white coats and uniforms are truly the country’s pride.

Not all problems come with a warning.

So be strong enough to gain the learning.

It won’t end soon or in a sudden,

Show your persistence show your daring!
