No One Saw It Coming

The era of 2020
It was neither healthy nor wealthy;
Being expensively lengthy. 
Chaos was caused,
Outside visiting was paused
looks like 2020 had brought Thanos along
but our marvels (morals) were strong.
Lakhs of people suffered from this disease,
But many of them took it with ease,
That’s why our offline classes were seized.

Earth was in lockdown
Education was also out of town.
Children did not like the situation                                                
online education was the revolution.
We couldn’t go to schools
Since this virus is cruel,
However, no one stopped us from shining like a jewel.

A salute to the frontline warriors
A salute to our saviors
And to the ones who show empathetic behavior 
Along with their endless labor
Which is incomparable.

It was the hardship
That broke up apart
But its the love
That still holds us together
Thus, we may be young or old,
but we must be bold,
against this virus untold…

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
