Shoulders To Cry On
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

Deaths of young people, near and dear ones,
Their dead bodies float in mourning rivers
While we helplessly watch ourselves
Being carried away by uncontrolled tears.

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

Falling on beautiful flowers,

While the towns people watch on in horror
The princess is saved, but lost in despair
