The Change

written by: Raphfael Wormge

As the words stop
So does the pain
And all that’s left
Is anger and hate

I must morph
Grow or change
Like the locust does
In late summer

My skin splits though
The monster takes over
All I can do
Is idly standby

As I watch
Control is lost
The monster’s released
Like a new locust
Being set free

Chaos ensues
Fire set loose
Hell breaks open

After the long day
Everything’s lost
Nothing to do
But fight
My thoughts

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.
