Quarantine...What Else?

 

Monotonous hours spent in distress,

Awaiting dispersal, holding our breath,

The only sound echoing across the news,

‘ Corona Virus…pandemic…unexpected life threat'

Quarantine came at its rescue,

Shut doors, shut windows,

And physical contact too…

 But not all was shut!!

For a whole new world of lessons lay,

Ahead of all, as a guide to win the life’s race

And stay safe till our hair turned grey…

If only we’d be more careful,

Lives could be saved,

Loved ones could be embraced,

Staying home, that wasn’t difficult at all!!

Yet many lost, and now live, depressed …

We all could have cooperated a bit more,

So no one had to leave the other at the shore….

 

Now it’s all done, so pray!!

Next time I will do all I learned… I will-I promise
