Covid Poems
Shoulders To Cry On

Deaths of young people, near and dear ones,
Their dead bodies float in mourning rivers

And we stay back home or in quarantines,
Practising the precautionary measures
While honoring the helpless govt. guidelines.

Can we now fill our lungs with fresh air
Breathing no longer through layers of cloth,
Or must we endure that little while longer
Protected indoors, cocooned like a moth.

The sky growled, the thunder rumbled and everyone returned to their cage,
