Confusion

Monodies on corona, like dirges, are often common Many die, senses say, many are, like a carcass, buried Amidst excessive ‘counts’ of ‘imported’ vaccination Paramount time spent greatly on nationwide election ‘Masks’, ‘Distance’, they say, nothing ever practiced 'Stars' and 'Models' on ads advise petty pretty precaution Jobless, foodless run long many a laborers’ marathon Mothers, fathers, wives, children, kith, and kin unfed Yet, caring, on their way, many helpless unknown brethren ‘Nation is fit financially’ ‘experts’ assure every so often ‘Rations limitless’ they say, who gets even mosses of bred? Life becomes, for poor, martyrdom, every console gone Rich becoming richer and poor pushed head and heart down Normal citizens are seen, day by day, going hungry to bed Corporatism has been becoming a common phenomenon Prices hike like climaxes of tragedies darkness and no dawn Slogans, as though, anthems and symphonies widespread Every politician delivering their power-speeches well-spun Normal natural life paralyzed as though existence bed-ridden.
