ये किस मोड़ पर दुनिया आ गई
हर तरफ महामारी छा गई
ना जाने कुदरत का है कहर ?
या पड रहा इनसान की ग़लतीयों को भुगतना?
तो अब, दूर रहकर भी मिलकर है लड़ना
कुछ अहम बातों पर गौर है करना
हर हाल में इस जंग से है जीतना।
सावधानी हटने ना दो
दुर्घटना घटने ना दो

Hum bhi agar panchi hote to aakash dekhte
Saari duniya so rahi hoti magar hum prakash dekhte
Mausam jo bhi hota, par apni chah me aksar
Hum apne pankh khol dete aur log humari udaan dekhte
Hum makan dekhte
Hum, makan dekhte
jinme kitni aankhe taras rahi hai udne ko
jahan in cheekhon ka naam nahi hai rukne ko
......
It was one solemn, long night,
Tenebrous with the astuteness of perfidy,
And multiple hours before the break of an
Impatient dawn.
Lampposts froze through the pergola of winter.
Limp from exposure to unprintable tales of orgies,
And their lights, hidden by icicles of pelted snow,
They fell face-down on the wayward paths of Central Park.
Manhattan was hung on the tattered frescoes of
Horror, masked with the silence of confrontations.
......
They say words and arms can kill,
So our mindless politicians made hundreds of bills.
Yet now we realise that man didn’t need words or arms,
To end up dead on bloody fields and farms.
All it takes is a moment,
And then no ones sentiment
Will matter,
And dreams of many shall shatter.
......
the stress
of this thing
is heavy like a
weighted blanket
casting blue shadows
across crispy kindling-dry
landscapes of the world's future
with a grey thunderhead towering
to the invisible foothills of olympus
miniaturizing all i've ever been

Hello!
I'm participating in a poetry competition where we are required to write any poem related to the difficult times we're currently going through. I would love feedback about how this poem made you feel, what you loved, what you hated, etc... and thank you so much in advance! ♡

We have forgotten our home, and never bothered listening to what it tells.
The air to us seems suddenly diseased, yet it has never been much else.
How come this outbreak happened so fast?
I spent less time being present - that I have spent pondering how long it will last...
......
The cycle of sin and misery… Pandemic, hurricanes, floods, locust swarms, heat waves, forest fires,
the common theme being “never seen anything like this before!”
It’s payback time folks.
2020 is the year of “equal and opposite reactions”.
Good old Newton knew his shit
So what do we do now?
Aaaaah right!
Eff it.
Let’s have some beer and sit back and watch the Show.
And come here and hit the keyboard once in a while.
