Life and Death

Unknown, unseen, the invisible demon has arrived to annihilate Anybody out in open becomes a pray of his wrath Soon gasping for breath, gone forever Such is his might that no one dares to go near dead body Lest they be killed mercilessly Huddled at home, a life of scare Millions dead, count increasing Governments battling the hidden enemy Nothing is working All are living a caged life at home This monster has spread its tentacles all over the earth Dead bodies fill crematory, human population coming down drastically Surprisingly he is targeting only humans Nature, trees, animals, birds, insect, air, water, all are happy They are glad the monster came to save them from human atrocities Land animals still living in little space, now roam about more freely Water bodies are relieved as they are no longer being used as a big dustbin Trees are breathing fresh air Birds are chirping merrily No honking of vehicles, no loudspeakers, no loud human noises It seems this monster is a friend of all except humans He wants to kill humans for atrocities committed against others Man's ego stands crushed One who thought he was the greatest stands helplessly in front of a microscopic creature. Earth belongs to all, live and let live Stop destroying earth, or I will come kill you Message is loud and clear! 05.05.2021 Contest Name : A Poem of Horror Sponsor : Funom Makama
