Vengeful Vengeance
A pall of gloom had descended,
Some even said,life had ended.
Nature, always immensely beautiful,
Seemed at once furious and vengeful.
Nothing worked, nor pills nor antibiotics.
Human lives, for once, mere statistics.
Relations, no matter how close, held at bay,
There seemed to be, just no other way.
Human warfare or a mutant gene,
Damage unprecedented and unseen.
No one knows what the future holds,
Everyone dreading, the common cold.
Social distancing, the need of the hour.
Masks and gloves, bought from afar.
Super powers, down on their knees
Nothing mattered, Economy nor World peace.
Isolation and quarantine, new terms to behold.
Thousands jobless, starved and cold.
Nature’s fury, human negligence,
Time to introspect, see some sense.
Stop the sins, at least unite to make some noise
If you cannot boldly, raise your voice.
You belong to Nature, don’t massacre her womb,
Payback is ruthless, She will make the world a tomb!
