V. Deepa Poet Free verse

In Times Like These:

In times like these we cannot
presume everything to be normal..
As the fresh norms have been evolved
We need to be submissive and co-operative.
Please don't fall prey to the mysterious virus.

In times like these we need to be extra cautious.
As we have fragile grip in the society..
Steer up some patience & avoid temptations 
and maintain social distancing to save yourself 
as well as your loved ones.

In times like these we need to utilise the
time precisely with our family and friends
As we might work as busy as bee once the
lockdown crackles..So be compassionate and 
relish acute freedom with your lovely members. 

In times like these a committed atheist would start 
worshipping and a hardcore theist would have stopped 
worships due to disappointments and frustrations 
on the monstrous virus..
Promoting beliefs & disbeliefs to be dismantled 
as there is no consistency in the reality.

In times like these..there are fewer travel 
experiences & expenses.
We should be sparing time with our hobbies..
and indulging in developing our passions & skills 
staying safe inside home.

In times like these..expectation reduces joy.
As we do not cognize what tomorrow might bestow.
Never wait for chances..Instead welcome today 
and incline to it peacefully & tremendously.

In times like these despite envisioning brightness...
Never fail to recognise the darkness dissolved in it. 
We need to be under surveillance and observe
keenly on what's transpiring around us.

IN TIMES LIKE THESE STAY SAFE ,STAY HYGIENIC,
STAY HOME!!!
