COVID – 19 (a poem) by Dr.R.Sivakumar

 

COVID – 19 

Tears come out
When I write of it.
 
Increasing, increasing minute by minute
Numbers are increasing
Who is number one?
Even this, America.
Who said it as a pandemic disease?
WHO said.
Who named it as ‘Covid – 19’?
WHO named.
Is there any other name?
O! Yes, ‘SARS-CoV2’
Who named?
WHO named.
You have family like languages?
Yes, like SARS, MERS, Swine Flu and Seasonal Flu.
I’m Corona Family.
You have a very high rate of mutation
Your members are increasing a lot.
We struggle to reduce you
We struggle to fight against you
We struggle to kill you
We can’t defeat you yet –But
Countries fight for economy
It’s a corporate world
Even you can’t change it.
 
You have done some good things
Ganga has bathed
Ozone is solved
Animals and Birds have experienced freedom
Cities have cleaned.
 
Everybody has heard the sound ‘Corona’
Nobody has welcomed you – but
You have entered somebody’s house around the world
Without permission, knowledge, appearance.
You have eaten 2,31,251 people
Up to April 30, 2020, 17.24 GMT worldometers update.
You are violent killer with symptoms
You are silent killer without symptoms.
 
Somebody say ‘you are man-made one’
Somebody say ‘you are natural one’
Who knows it?
God in Heaven knows
Scientists struggle around the world
Kill you to save the world
The process is going on
Everyone wishes to end soon
You should be locked down
If we want to unlock down
Be alone! Be aware!! Be home!!!
