Earth Has Started To Breath

The horses of life are halted Something, most certainly, world has never wanted Humans are locked inside their houses They are forced to give time to their spouses Schools closed, Factories shut, ban on outings, and open markets This version of life has surely been long disregarded Beaches are taking long breaths For they are getting rid of plastic and filths Oceans are getting clearer Apart from marine creatures, who seems cheerer? Lions, deers, and bears have banished their fears And roam freely on the land which was once theirs For humans, staying in home is just like staying behind the bars Meanwhile, Mother Earth has started to heal her scars Ozone layer is recovering, Pollution level is decreasing Instead of noise of automobiles & machines, birds are twittering They fly freely without any fear of being caught And Milky away can be seen clearly too for she has lifted all her veils, right! Sun laughs loudly, Moon seems to have learnt new spells I reckon we were and we are the virus of this mother Earth Sky has finally responded to her call, though a bit late But he is, with all his love, making her clean and green in haste Human beings sob and cry, thousands have died and many are dying But mother Earth is enjoying punching, in the face pollution and Global warming Clouds sing louder than ever Earth inebriated by the music, dance along her loyal friends We surely didn't see that coming... For pose a threat to her and her friends.... Would she not be happy without us...? (~Paghunda Zahid 15th April, 2020)
