Let us forget the issue treacherous
Of birth, growth and spread of Coronavirus
Look at its effect on humans and their reactions;
Many are affected, some died and few are cured
Cordoned and dissociated, chased by rules obscured;
In fear, they have caved in shunning all adda and functions
Deserting their villages, towns and cities, the whole foreground
Denizens of the forest have come out and are moving in human habitats;
They remember that the humans visited them often at their home
Killed them for fun and flesh, axing and shooting them at random
Enclosed them in Zoos and tortured them in laboratory tests
As they exploited and destroyed Nature for self-interest;
Man created with pride the cement-concrete forest
Polluted, artificial, without sound health
Bereft of all natural beauty and real wealth;
Moving, running, peeping and peering through
Animals in human's jungle find strange things without any clue
In no man’s land, birds chirp, shriek, chatter, hoot and screech
Sky is full of birds, in water, swim the ducks
They greet humans with smiles sardonic
Peacocks dance on the Mother’s Terrace
Displaying their feathers unique. |
