Return the Lost Threads of Life
Mr. Chairman,
In difficult times like these
when the stream of my life
changed the course, maybe permanently,
on the topography of new paradigm,
I venture to write to you,
the supreme leader of an ancient nation,
treading on the threshold of modernity,
to express my anguish for losing my world,
I loved so very much,
because of the invasion of the invisible menace
from the black curtained shores of your country,
for which you had thought wishfully,
following the tradition of imposed secrecy,
that suppressed cover-up was the solution
to deal with the emerging viral situation,
but the virus, not the subject of totalitarian rule,
invaded the world at its free will,
you failed to stop.
At this desperate juncture
my plea to you is :
Please share with the world community
all the information you have
on the cause of this alarming crisis,
on the results of research your scientists do,
so the harassed humanity
wins the war soon through international effort,
and we get back our lost threads of life
in this beautiful world.
