Sneeze, cough, cold, fever,

2019, December,

Covid-19 in China-air,

Not in your backyard, did you care?

WHO says no worry,

Just a China story,

But virus is boss,

Sends WHO declaration for a toss,

Does a global criss-cross.

Lock down, shut down,

Migrants on walk down,

From city to town,

Many to be mowed down,

Obliterated, forgotten.

Day in, day out,

Positive, negative, mortality, morbidity,

Symptomatic, asymptomatic,

Assaulted by Statistics.

Masks, face cover,

Cloth, N95, single use, 3-Ply

Many a fool,

Still asks, “Why?”

Movie says,"Five Feet Apart",

Guidelines state six feet apart.

Liquor shops reopen,

Social distancing goes for a hick!

Cops nationwide,

At every gully and traffic light,

Sing and dance,

"This is the way we wash our hands!"

Stay home, work from home,

Google meet, google classroom,

Zoom in, zoom out,

Virtual or real,

Surely surreal!

Plague, Black death, Spanish flu,

Countless epidemics, pandemics,

A history of what, how, why's,

Similarities to eras gone by,

Man has learnt nothing. Why?

P.S: Wrote this back in October, 2020. Seven months later, our condition has only worsened, and people are losing their lives by the dozens. Did we really have to come to such a horrific state?
