During these dark and depressing times,
Travelling to far away places is not allowed,
So the journeys are condensed now,
From one corner of room to other,
From part of house to other,
The long journey that we witness,
Is from the inner part to the outer part of the house,
Here days and nights are alike,
As both are painful and boring,
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours seem like days,
Everything here is unending,
There are sighs everywhere,
Of pain, loss and longing,
Heart's are beating out of the fear of loss,
Every night people are tossing and turning even on their comfortable beds,
Endless messages come evey minute,
Conveying about the loss of life,
Those messages connect everyone,
As everybody is going through the same pain and loss,
Ambulances are seen everywhere,
Carrying corpse's showing pain and loss,
But amid of all this we should lend a helping hand,
To all the creatures of the God,
So that in the middle of all this,
Their heart's will be lighted with the ray of hope,
That will give them the courage and strength,
To fight and dwell in this pandemic,
The darkness will end soon,
And there will be once again light.
