Lockdown

Little did I wonder that I will see a day, When the world will come to a standstill. Little did I wonder that world would start looking Like it does in dystopian movies and novels. Little did I wonder that the science fictions Would come so close to reality. Little did I wonder that there would come a morning, With deadly silent streets and totally quiet roads. Little did I wonder that humans will be locked up, And animals would carelessly stroll the paths. Little did I wonder that the parks will be void As children and elders will be prisoners in home. Little did I wonder that markets and mall could ever close Let alone become totally soul less. Little did I wonder we would get some break Out of our jam packed schedules. Little did I wonder that the whole family would sit together again, Relaxing and enjoying a mini vacation at home. Little did I wonder I would ever get time for my hobby again, The one that I had left years ago. Little did I wonder that our mother nature could heal And would be able to breathe again. Little did I wonder that a microscopic virus Would scare the human beings to this extent. Little did I wonder that after this lockdown Life would never be the same again.
