THE COLLOSAL SORROW
Sit at home, they say
Thereby, deserting the city all the way.
School, college, firms all stand shut,
which created chaos in everyone’s gut.
In the initial weeks, the epidemic appeared benign
But soon, took away everybody’s sunshine.
Avoiding gloves and mask is now an offence,
But yes it is for our own defense.
Hoarding grocery stores is the latest trend,
Leaving nothing for their friends.
Family members are bonding like never before,
Knowing each other to the core.
Doctors, nurses, bankers are the new heroes,
Doing everything for a better tomorrow.
This is our only chance to rest and save the environment,
Come on people! cooperate with the government.
