ಕಾಣದ ಮಹಾಮಾರಿಯೊಂದು ಬರೀ ಕಣ್ಣೀರ ತರಿಸಿದೆ
ಸಾವು ನೋವುಗಳ ಕಹಿಯನೇ ಉಣಿಸಿದೆ
ಬದುಕಿನ ಕಗ್ಗತ್ತಲು ಭಯ ಮೂಡಿಸಿದೆ,
ಬೆಳಕು ಇನ್ನೂನು ಮರೀಚಿಕೆಯೆನಿಸಿದೆ
ಸಾಕಿನ್ನು ಅಗ್ನಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ, ಉಸಿರುಗಟ್ಟಿದೆ
ನಮಗೆ ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಬದುಕಬೇಕೆನಿಸಿದೆ
ಕಸ ಸುಡುವ ಪರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಣ ಸುಡುತ್ತಿದೆ
ಹಣದ ಮೋಹ ನಿಮಗಿನ್ನೂ ಕಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ
ಉರಿವ ಚಿತೆಯಲೂ ತುಪ್ಪ ಕಾಯಿಸುವ ವ್ಯಾಘ್ರಗಳು ನೀವು
ಮರಣ ಮೃದಂಗಕ್ಕೂ ಸಂತಸದಿ ಕುಣಿಯುವಿರಿ
ಸಾಕಿನ್ನು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿ , ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪಾಪದ ಕೊಡ ತುಂಬಿದೆ
ನಮಗೆ ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಉಸಿರಾಡಬೇಕೆನಿಸಿದೆ
~ ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ್ ಶೆಟ್ಟಿ ವಿ.
An invisible enemy
An invisible enemy has brought only tears
It gave only the agony and death to savor
There’s fear creeping about the darkness of life
Now a ray of hope is only an illusion
Enough of this torment and suffering for it is choking
We want to live again
Dead bodies are burnt in mass the way garbage was burnt
But still you have burning desire for more money
Beastly people intend to grow rich even from burning pyre
You dance with glee even for death’s sinister drum beats
End this here for you have sinned to the brim
We want to breathe again

Karthik Shetty, kudos to you mate!! Explained the current situation in very accurate manner!! Awaiting many more poems from your side brother!!
Thank you…
Very nice ?. The losses suffered by us has no bounds, may it be lives or health or money. This nature has taught us the best lesson even to the new born babies. Now it’s our turn to make it right, join hands together, help the needy, build new life and continue the journey with or without our beloved. ‘Stay home, stay safe, be healthy, no ego, nothing is permanent .!’ – new mantra of this decade.
