I Want a Time Machine

Let's convene and intervene,
The misdeeds of Covid 19,
I wish for a time machine.

Nothing could've stopped our daily routine,
Had we foreseen  this deadly scheme.
We'd hold the past somewhere in between,
Averted this evil ordeal,
So I wish for a time machine.

From Space to Submarine,
Bombay to LA, Stockholm to Rome,
We were all stuck in our homes.
This bug's got everyone jittering,
So I want a time machine.

To undo the things which weren't meant to be,
Keep the world as it should be,
To avert the unforeseen,
Attend schools and meetings-not onscreen,
I want a time machine.

We the people were relentlessly fighting,
The loss we had was terribly disturbing.
Although the things are getting back to routine,
The world's still waiting for a Vaccine,
So I want a time machine..
