Goodbye Corona
GOODBYE CORONA !
Corona, where are you, what are you up to?
l am longing to say farewell to you,
A final farewell, you doom bringer!
I am not alone in desiring this,
But speak for every dweller on the earth!
You are wrecking our lives rapidly;
We are not toys for you to play with!
I intend not to beg, but command you,
The sparkling stars, so welcome, appear at night,
But YOU come any time, any space, every where.
Many are unfortunate humans,
Touched by you, engulfed within your domain ,
With aching bodies, hacking coughs and high fever,
They are at your mercy, desperate to say goodbye,
Whoever parented you will answer to God!
Fear of you is changing cultures;
Afraid to hug, nervous to shake hands,
Many in the world press palms together,
And greet one another with a ‘Namaste’
But I say not “Namaste” but “Goodbye “forever.
