So many thoughts flooded my mind while writing this poem. Coronavirus has shown us an entirely new way to live life. Death, disease and destruction became gruesome part of life and we talked about it as if it’s a normal occurrence. People became a mere statistic.
Here’s a short poem I penned on the pandemic situation:
fear was its first-born,
then came insecurity,
doubt followed closely,
tears flooded the world,
coronavirus killed
something within us all.
How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect you? Do share in the comment box below.

I had a bad time when the coronavirus came into my house as an unwanted guest.
Well said corona virus develops a fear of death among us. We have seen the condition of doctors, how they felt helpless in front of this virus.
The whole world is waiting for that medicine which can kill it from its roots.

I think, Corona-virus has killed a lot of things in us. And this is the most difficult phase for kids, They arent able to live real life, living indoors like being in cage it not a real life.

For me, it killed some things that I always wanted to get rid of. Ego, flamboyance, lack of self care routine, lack of financial literacy. I really feel blessed to be sane amidst this insanity!
