Silent Streets
Silent streets, frozen lights
Crystal clear in the silent night
The roads and bridges
Once where two-wheelers and four-wheelers plied,
Now, lie as if deserts
Under the dark clear sky.
Once the streets full of people,
The hustle and bustle of mankind
Now...lie as if a shooting star
Suddenly passed by.
A tiny microbe comes and takes away the lives,
Killing thousands in no time,
Heaven and Earth made alike!
The busyness of the city
The festivals of the people
The duties of mankind
All vanished in front of the eye.
Now, all that is left
Are the silent streets and the frozen lights
Under the dark night sky
Only moon patters its shine
And the stars twinkle bright
The city lies silent with uncanny fright,
The silent streets....
The frozen lights.....
