As I am sitting home testing positive for COVID, all i can think of is this virus. I am writing for the being hunted theme of Poets and Storytellers united. This Second wave has been devastating, so many of my friends and family are positive and admitted. Do your part and stay home and follow the lockdown guidelines and donate to those in need if you can.
How do you run from a
virus?
It is in the air I
breathe,
The Food I eat,
The words we speak and
The fear we breed.
All I had to do was
stay home,
But too late I have it
now.
The second wave has
crashed India
With a sickening spell
All I can do is watch,
Already infected,
From the comforts of
my home.
While I watch my
country be persecuted
By a pernicious
pandemic,
Preying on the poor
and the privileged alike.
Virus does not
discriminate,
But people definitely do.
While some of us stay
at home,
Others beg for beds,
oxygen and then some.
This is the time to
for the former
Predator and prey to
join hands,
Make astute amends
&
Bring this pandemic to
a hopeful end.
The third wave Is
already waiting for us,
What are we waiting for?
Blames can be shifted after the fact,
Now is the time to act.
