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!
