Poem
A moment of silence. Join me, O mother earth As I whisper a prayer, For your son's stricken to death. By the invisible scythe of corona. (Covid-19) Listen to the tunes Of these sorrowful strings All you far and near. For the names they hum Are of the lost brothers we held so dear. Come, you all in your numbers Come with flowers to the graves Let us pay our last respect To the sailors washed down the vault By this viperous wave. Heed the voices of the criers March in troupes to the pyres Mourn, oh brothers mourn For this novel COVID storm Has got our world broken and torn. To mothers lost to panics and fears And fathers contorted with heavy tears. To children deprived of saying goodbyes, Before their lungs, murmured last sighs. To our dear nurses, doctors, Volunteers and all frontline workers. To those risking their lives In order to save that of others. To all isolated in despair, Wandering in exile from embrace and care Oh what comfort can I offer you? To all who have suffered From loss and loneliness In these long painful days To all trapped in the claws of sullenness Seeking a million escaping ways We whisper for you a prayer. We've seen your trials and heard your wails. Oh Sorry for your loss and the pain it entails. We can't pray for you hard enough Or wish you well enough, But Our hearts are with you. These numbers of deceased Are losses for you and the world. To you our brave warriors, who stood the vicious test And survived the pandemic and its frets Accept these words I mutter As insignias for your bravery. It may never be like it used to be But sow your hope in the skies and give this glorious life another try. From the midst of these chaotic grumbles Shall rise relieving sighs. Throughout nights, dawns and days The world will be with you in every way. Should your hope ever sway, And your gloom be called to day, Bid the world to offer a hand, And we shall stand by you. Let us all build on the greatest hope That our world shall be healed. And we shall soon be pandemic free.
