The situation with Covid-19 is a grim one in our world today. This poem came out when I started thinking about our world and how our new normal is completely different today as compared to just a few months back.
Our Life Today
The streets are empty, they are devoid of traffic
The stores are empty, there’s a sense of panic
People are hoarding goods and groceries
Toilet paper, canned goods, vegetables and cheese
Don’t be that person, purchase only what you need
Let there be enough supplies for everyone, don’t give in to greed
Stay home, stay safe, don’t get out unless absolutely necessary
Travel, friends and party, they will be there, please that’s a humble plea
Use technology to keep in touch, there are many options available
Use them to the fullest, be nimble and agile
In all this, don’t forget to thank our heros of today
Our healthcare, frontline, retail and delivery workers who are all in the fray
Playing a huge part in trying to contain and find a that Covid-19 cure
So life can go on as before without taking much of a detour
So here’s a round of applause to all of us, because you have also done your part
How you ask, well by staying home, maintaining social distance and staying apart
