No one can believe,
How much everything has changed indeed,
In the challenging times of the monster evil,
The disease caused by Coronavirus also known as COVID.
No more handshakes, high fives, hugs are accepted,
If you do so, they may later by you, be regretted,
Instead, namaste has to be used,
In these times, perfect it has proved.
Physical schools have been forgotten,
They have been replaced by classes online.
Video calls are the new way of connecting,
By which our esteemed teachers teach us lessons.
There is no longer school whiteboard notes taking,
Which is heart-breaking.
There are no practical in school labs,
No playing with friends during school breaks.
There is no longer playing outside,
All that can be done is remain inside,
And play online games,
Which later our damaged eyes will blame.
Most offices no longer open,
With the work from home introduction.
Glued are eyes to screens,
Everyone will soon need specs it seems.
Beware handwash haters!
We now need to wash our hands multiple times every hour,
And use sanitizers if outside,
Both of which previously some people didn’t bother to think of.
Physical meetings are not advised,
Because safety must not be compromised.
Meeting friends, family, colleagues is rare,
Zoom/Skype/Google Meet calls instead have taken over.
Masks are mandatory,
So is social distancing,
These are the magic wands in our hands,
To ensure we evade the viral disease.
Many wise people have given paid vacations to maids, Due to which, with house chores they themselves are weighed. Most people also still avoid outside food,
And have embraced to eat nutritious delicacies homemade.
No public places are opened,
Due to which some people are disheartened.
We hardly go shopping in our all-time favourite malls, Due to which the times before Corona we often recall.
The threat of the deadly Corona however,
Has taught us skills that we will remember forever, Like never before, it has taught us independence, And Mother Nature’s significance.
All of us have evolved into our better selves,
Rediscovering our long lost passions once again,
It’s a pleasure having more time in hands with our loved ones, Reinforcing with our family a stronger bond.
Deep in hearts we not regret, how we have devastated mother nature’s equilibrium and various habitats. We seek an apology from all our fellow living beings, Promising them to cooperate with them in peaceful coexistence.
This pandemic seems to be a curse from them for our mistakes, I hope they forgive us our sins.
May the darkness of COVID soon start to fade,
And we continue to be the better version of ourselves.
