Fear of Unseen

Is this mask a permanant shade
on which a new world order being built 
it does make me timid to step out
I miss the smell of raw earth of the first rain.

fear of the unseen always haunted me
now it's verified that fear is real
did some one plant it or just evolved
both ways, Covid just keep us distance apart .

it wasn't long that I felt 'me' not in queue 
until the next door man died and exhumed in stealth 
kids, wife , parents all had that hollow looks ,
of fear if the unseen has entered our house,
desperately searching stock of sanitizer , 
a random deeper breath  around makes us shiver .

Many experts were born on SM on the subject 
people accepting anything like gospel truth
the evil planners must have their ugly smiles
since they achieved what they willed,
confusion, fear, surrender and obedience. 
it's power, control and money they aim.

2000 years before we saw the same 
when the rich priestly clan frightened men
of sins , rituals and punishments 
That was the time the Saviour was born,
to forgive , purify and reform .
Will He come again this second time now
or is there a long oppression before His arrival ?
