Anew

It was yet another day Tossing my bag in the car and driving away Dodging through the busy streets Amidst the tyre screeches.   We thought Corona was at bay, But still the virus crept its way, Leaving us short of breath Torturing some to death.   We were all let down When came the lockdown. Panic, fear and desperation Exacerbated by the sequestration.   Hearts filled with dread, Not knowing what lay ahead. Health worker went to heal Mask on,with the same zeal.   Busy streets now deserted All forms of traffics now busted. At junctions, instead of horns blaring Cheerful chirps of bird are airing   Humans are healing from their bruised ego Shut in their houses with nowhere to go. The atmosphere is eerily calm As if Nature is applying its own balm.
