My Silver lining during Covid-19 Pandemic

Who are you Corona/ What are you Corona

I knew can see sun’s corona
Only during solar eclipse,
Now Corona you are everywhere
Scaring everyone

Who are you Corona? What are you?

Are you an eclipse, Or cleaning the world,
A destructor, Or balancing act
Extreme Pain, Or some gain  
Miniscule, invisible, Yet covering the world.

Rivers were polluted
The roads were busy
There was fire in the forests
Ashes in the winds
Everywhere noise
Animals were endanger
Human steps on the moon
But earth was in pain

Then suddenly you came
Brought the fear of death
Scared humans
Science also in panic
So many deaths
No cure
Everything Uncertain

Now
Rivers flowing clean
Fragrant breeze
Blooming forests
Singing Birds
Animals wandering open
The healthy environment

Humans are quarantined
Socially distant but
Making meaningful connections
Emergency workers serving humanity
Everyone is more humble


You tell me Corona
Who are you Corona? What are you?

Are you an eclipse, Or cleaning the world,
A destructor, Or balancing act
Extreme Pain, Or some gain  
Miniscule, invisible, Yet covering the world
Natural or man-made disaster?

Whatever you are,
Whoever you are
We human will fight you off
For billions of years
We have faced evil like you
And always survived as better species
It’s just matter of time
When you’ll be history
Will have some loss
World will come out as winner.
Just go away Corona
Don’t test Our patience
Don’t test Our patience.
