Raavan and Covid19

Long ago came a ten headed monster we’ve heard But never seen He came from across the border and hit us hard Took away our peace Called Raavan – to destroy our World Lo we had a savior then, none other than Lord To keep us at ease HE isolated Himself in the forests to take on the hazard And put us at ease Now comes a tiny monster well known and heard But still can’t be seen He came from across the border and hit us gently Gave us illness We look for our savior, where is the Lord? To fight the disease Many say HE is inside temple, mosque or churchyard But not to be seen, He is locked down by Man and Man is on guard The world is on lease Who is this monster – is it created by Man! Put on your masks, as we can’t see Who is our savior – where is the Lord? To kill this disease Called Covid 19 – ruining our World created by Lord Isolate yourself Wait for your turn to bring on the urn! -Suresh Iyer Tried to relate this Coronavirus Pandemic attack to Hindu Mythology - The Ramayan in which the Lord isolated himself and took upon the ten headed monster but here the Monster is so small and there is no Savior in sight. The temples, churches and mosques have shut down.
