Pandemic

12 AM!
Happy 2020
Everyone greeted in delight
"Not yet", uttered corona

From venturesome everyday
Something distant
To being trapped in lockdown
For several months

We all got a lesson
Nothing is everlasting
Accept the constant tussle
We had in quarantine

In the list of 2020 plans
All we own is
Sanitizers and masks

Precautions and disclaimers like
Cover your face
Or else this virus will cover
Beneath the ground
Within white sheets

Handshakes and hugs
Ruined by social distancing
Stay home stay safe
The only slogan we heard thousand times

From hoping the cases will turn down
To rapid rising in deaths
May god protect us
We pray all the time

Consoling ourselves
This pandemic will end soon
All left with only one thought
Why china did this to us
