THIS TOO SHALL PASS

With desserted roads and thin crowds around us

Countless lives lost and families in mourning among us

As the unseen virus puts up distance between us

People walk miles and miles to their safe abode before us

Yet let us not lose hope and stay thankful for

For the nameless souls fighting the faceless virus

For the white clad ones caring for the rest of us

For the men in khakkis marching with just a mask

For the milkman, kirana chacha and delivery men

For our human spirit willing to keep us in existence

For being human and alive!
