PANDEMIC
written by: Dr. Humeira Jawed
It happened first,
Happening now
Questions dispersed,
Wondering how…
Diseased, dumbfounded,
Words fallen ill
Actions are astounded,
To find a remedy until.
The worldly has thrown,
This world through a toss…
Like a rolling stone,
Gathering moss.
Human raced its game,
Fearless of chances odd
Met a fateful claim,
When playing god.
Locked in conscience,
Let reasons gather health,
As the air beyond is intense,
With shortness of breath.
A jolt of commotion,
Sends shivers across
To those united in emotion,
Those united in chaos.
Tangled in this net,
When information exploded
The ‘effect’ we now fret,
And the ’cause’ is eroded.
There’s a lot to quarantine,
Reflecting this close call
Time has come clean,
To wash hands, sins and all.
Divinity will ease the pain,
To pass the virulent test
The world can, will re sustain,
The pandemic can do the rest!
