Lockdown

O human!! Why u have done this to nature?
Why....why u have made humanity a joke
And hurted each and every creature

Why u have done so many wrong deeds?
Doing which no man succeeds

It has brought a lot of difference
Has weaken the bond,
And increased the distance

Never imagined to cook so well
But still can't call dear ones to enjoy the food's smell

Never thought to do Work from home
But still can't go out and roam

Never thought to be together for so long
But still don't have time to sit and listen to our favourite song

Never thought to have so much money
But still can't achieve peace and harmony

Never thought of having everything but still lacking mental peace
Never imagined to be with family but still can't give time to my own children and niece

Never thought of being so close in distance but miles apart in heart
Never thought of calling people and requesting not to come but depart

Corona tends to lockdown
Which is a human crown
Which each city has to wear
And suffer equally as per the share

No such priority to hit a poor
Nor any customized safety for rich
But the chances are more for the ones who are back from tour
Making us understand a lesson which was important to teach

O human!! Why u have done this to nature?
Why....why u have made humanity a joke
And hurted each and every creature
