The Virus Train
He had little to eat and money had ran out/his luck had also ran out.
The morning's Shramik Special was sold out/his patience had definitely ran out.
Any chance of the regular train was out/he told himself to simply get out.
All textile workers, cooks, and cleaners were out/below the clouds Sun was out.
The virus was everywhere inside and out/although the lockdown was finally out.
His brother a diamond polisher was looking out/breathing heavily in and out.
They must return to the village before the day is out/chance of walking it was out.
Suddenly another train and the crowd's scream was out/by then he had foolishly ran out.
We must hurry back or we're out/they rushed past the light that was out.
Surging through the gate their fists were out/people were fighting inside and out.
An empty seat for both and their tickets were out/happy to be finally getting out.
Life's cruelty was however uncorked and out/its bottle of hope empty and out.
The brothers took time to find out/when they reached home the lights were out.
Their bundle of cheese and bread were out/their parents they thought were out.
But a neighbor saw them and reached out/and then the sac of sad news was out.
He then watched his brother collapse and out/his chest breathing only out.
God where is justice and only the devil out/have mercy on those left out.
