Poem Title:
Poem
Humans have long trespassed and destroyed animal territories Humans have poached And selfishly encroached upon animal habitats cutting down trees to build human habitations. Now the tables have turned Humans are quarantined in house arrest while some lie sick in bedrest So animals not usually seen are having a fields day roaming upon roads, crossing the streets. Reclaiming the once jungle lands, that had been turned into concrete urban jungles. It's better that busy humans now become photoholic than forever queueing in lines of heavy traffic. Without human pollution, nature is all the more photogenic Mother nature all a creation of God has now had many of us grounded as she gives us a hiding while we go into hiding. Extraordinary turn of events indeed!! In several countries round the world: Discos and casinos vacated Pubs and nightclubs evacuated Bars shutdown for lockdown People are behind bars instead of guzzling beer in bars and instead of animals behind bars. Humans compelled to hibernate so animals busted their cell gate Priorly animals were in an enclosure Now they are getting free exposure Self-centred humans cared mostly about themselves but now the animal kingdom is the cynosure Animals were shut in cages and now human activity is under similar closure. Ah, this corona crisis! Is all this mercenary stasis for humans a roasting nemesis? A heavy price to pay for rapacious carelessness and arrogance where humans acted like they are in control, like they are controllers of this planet and they could do anything they wish with it. It's ignorance to think all this is mere coincidence. Im relieved our Islamic prayers can be said any place, anywhere to kneel and bow to the one true real sustainer of the universe. We need to invoke and supplicate to the creator who is still in control... as prayer can really truly prevent fear and anxiety in such scary times. "I suddenly realised that coincidence is a word we use when we are ignorant of the real causes." - Albert Salvadó (I was impressed by the news story in which Kuwait had sent a special plane to Italy to specially evacuate their nationals from there when Italy was heavily stricken with the corona virus)
