Lockdown

Can anybody say 
How many days 
We will endure the lockdown? 

No one has any rebuttal 
We only follow the ground rule. 
Can anybody say 
How we are in 
For a day or a month 
With no result?

And our cognizance is antiquated 
How can we breathe 
And how can we maintain 
Our relationship 
With our kith and kin 
Nobody has any answer. 

Can anyone say 
How the poorest of poor are living 
And striving hard 
All through the day 
To earn their loaf of bread 
No one has any answer. 

But I see them in hunger 
All through the day 
Does anybody think of them 
For how many days 
Will they sustain with hunger 
No one has to avouch. 

Are relief materials provided by
Different agencies sufficient for them? 
The answer is a big No. 

Then how will they survive 
And how will we survive 
With the lockdown continuing...
