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.
