Poetry

An Ode to Humanity

A virus did not see the boundaries created by us

All these boundaries, divisions, segregations are just superfluous

It took one virus to remind us of the importance of health

Which we seem to have forgotten in the rat race for power and wealth

Immunity will not come from processed food

Nature’s bounty is totally being devalued

Contact with one individual can lead to the spread of this virus, wide and far

This just shows how connected humans are

This virus is a boon as well as a bane

It is a blessings as well as a pain

This is the time of cooperation and self-realization

We must stop our earth’s exploitation

Let’s concentrate on working towards a better generation!
