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.....
