Birth and Spread of Covid19

Neither the clang of swords, nor the rattle of guns Nor the devastating drop of bombs nor bomber’s motion But a hush-hush research in quiet laboratory in a far corner Producing mass-killing virus to infect and spread afar To attack the innocent mass of other countries in umpteen numbers; It is the modern bio-warfare, a bio-terror Cold, vicious, peaceful, hides its face forever; Neither the poor pangolin nor shrewd snake nor the clumsily hung bat Is responsible for the spread of Covid19 but only men, the heinous brats Of dubious characters, scientists and leader-cum-dictators, dignified rats; Rich country leaders panicking the humans Warning them of disease and death As with cancer, source of huge economic power at the cost of pain and death Paralyzing other country’s economic health Plummeting their market, choking their breath Get ready to sell medicines to Covid infected countries to handsomely earn And gain more power over the others by crippling their progress in return; Creating hybrid products and G.M. Foods splicing genes such cunning foxes Ride over the Nature mutating, denuding her, ravishing earth water and space; Are such power-hungry politician-leader-dictators, the self-made robots Diabolically different from their country folks benevolent, called patriots? If nuclear war mutilated and annihilated millions from the face of the earth Bio-warfare would make the earth a vast desert devoid of any worth. Living things have many enemies in the world like bacteria, germs and virus Epidemics spread to countries but never a pandemic like this, telling us Of boomerang played by the virus Stealthily spread or escaped from the laboratory; Nature took tolls for all deformations done to her, automatically Warning us that it would take more ultimately For playing fox with her, maybe retaliatory! @ Aju Mukhopadhyay, 2020
