Lying under surfaceOf the beautiful worldBeneath the sunsetsAnd beautiful earthThere lives a worldUgly and bruteA squalid streamOf rotting mutes.Pandemic has churnedThis efficient worldAnd brought to the foreThe fake premiseAnd rising aboveThe surface smoothThe stinking garbageIs now strewn around©️shashidudhgaonkar
Someone somewhereJust ate one batWorld now busy inPrayer and thoughtsVentilators are fullCoffins running shortEconomy tumblingOn a downhill pathSomeone somewhereJust ate one batEarth is turned to hellThe Paradise is lost©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Full of prideAnd arrogantly vain.Rising aboveOn bloated airUntethered balloonFloating around.As it encountersA virus smallAll is lostIn a momentary flashAs hot air escapesTo a floppy trashThe bloated egoBattered and bruised©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
Offices emptyShops are closedNo soul in sightOn the silent roadsHospitals sloggingnight and dayReligious placesClosed and emptyNo money, no GodNor influence worksWhen nature unleashes It’s fury on us. Humanity scaredAnd united by fearA virus has succeededWhere religions failed. ©️ShashikantDudhgaonkar
