Falling Star

written by: J. G. Elas

@jsphelas

It was his love
that brought me here,
it enveloped me
and wiped every tear.

It was his voice,
that had me swayed—
the way he said those words
almost like poet-made.

Strong and passionate
with less predictability,
he pulled me in with
a blink like gravity.

And I am forever fallen
in this system that was him.
All the while I plan
falling continuously;
closely and not too far,
like a found falling star.

ALBERT CAMUS’S – 'THE PLAGUE' - ITS RELEVANCE TODAY by GS Subbu

How relevant is the ‘The Plague’ to the present scenario we find ourselves in? It is really astounding that when you go through the book you realize that what is happening now is very similar to what has been described in graphic detail decades ago. Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
