Covid-19 Poem by P.A. NOUSHAD (SHOMSI)

Rivers flow unpolluted
into our hearts,
we are locked down,
where are our friends?
where are our neighbours?
where are our relatives?
they travel to the world of distancing,
mask wearing figures roaming around,
quarantines, sanitise...
no guests at homes
no visiters in the offices,
now all is quiet,
where are the boasting parties?
where are the greedy eyes?
cities are dead
roads are vacant
hotels are empty
schools are closed
hospitals are filled
graveyards are jam-packed,
we begin to listen
the songs of birds
we begin to enjoy
the beauty of butterflies,
we have the time,
we begin to breath
the pure air with ease
we begin to learn
the new lessons of life,
teaching from the unseen
the micro size of unseen,
we can fight well
but never we will win
until we change
we change ourselves,
Rivers flow unpolluted
into our hearts.
