A Blessing in Disguise

Dear contagion, you are a boon! No matter what the people say For you have come at the right time To cleanse and detox the human kind. You may be a biologically spread disease But our escalating desires needed a prune. We got so engrossed in superficial stardom That the recurrent Nature’s signals we didn’t mind This sudden lockdown has caused us to swoon As we are learning new survival strategies And believing in some mystic rune To take away the disease and the grime. Life has been paused but we will not cease to croon We will, thus, keep our spirits high and focus on the prime.
