COVID19


# Lockdown 2020


I opened my eyes hoping that everything going on was a nightmare...
Checked the newsfeed pop up on my phone... Oh what a despair...!

Over lakhs of people infected by the virus and casualties rise by the day...
Staying indoors, respiratory hygiene and social distancing seems to be the only way!

Food scarcity, fear, anxiety and panic has affected health...
This pandemic has surely taken a toll on nation's wealth...!

Only God knows the price humanity is paying for the crimes we have committed...
For the world is on a standstill and the food that we once wasted is now limited...!

We ought to be supportive to each other in this problem with which we are all dealing...
On the brighter side, pollution levels have gone down and mother Earth is finally healing...!

People indoors and animals' free outside may seem to feel a little strange ...
With decrease in CO, emissions, this pandemic is a temporary solution to climate change...!

COVID-19, Pandemic, lockdown is like nothing we have ever known ....
Watching the spread of this contagion, my fear has only grown...!

I remember taking life for granted and thinking "everything is fine" ...
But here I am, all scared and locked inside home under quarantine!

But I am sure, that we will find a cure and that humanity will once again win....
I join my hands and pray to God to end this pandemic and let my normal life begin...!
