Oh, Mother India, The sacred smock of your cremated children Over your revered land, I see The lamentations of the death-stricken families I daily hear The unbearable agony of your offsprings, in my heart, I constantly feel. Do not despair holy India, for it is not only me that shows compassion But The whole world, with sympathy, has turned its Eyes upon you All nations are willing to assist you to overcome this Horrible affliction Thus You to return to your illustrious status And The love of humanity to be glorified! © Demetrios Trifiatis 01 May 2021 *There have been at least 300,000 new infections every day in the past week, with more than 360,000 new cases and more than 3500 deaths in the past 24 hours.

Dear Demetrios, A heartbreaking poem for the great Indian country, where all the news is frightening and upsetting about people dying on the streets and requiring the entire world's attention. I stand with you for these human souls
