Symbol Of Destruction Poem by Prabir Gayen

Symbol of Destruction

Devastating pandemic,
People will line to the morgue,
Graveyard will be slim to aid,
Corona is not a normal pastime,
Village after village, city after city
Will be silent without human beings,
A great disaster without solution
Is inching one place to another,
It's nature is unknown and mysterious,
Life has come to the edge.

Many are not conscious of the gravity,
Many are making fun with the virus,
Many are benevolent to make shadows of their egos,
COVID-19 to some fools is platform to scribe
their names to become someone special,
Bengal is in great crisis with
the booming steps of pandemic,
It has become to some Ignoramus,
another device to Celebrate national calamity
like flood or famine,
to play the game of being Philanthropists,
Another day of rejoicing,
Celebrating holidays with humanitarian outlook.

The world is under its shadowy grip,
Corpses are heavy under the ground,
No one is present to receive the corpse,
to chant the name of God as funeral service,
The Solemn symbol of ritual has lost its value,
A dark dungeon of distressful mortification,
Dismal glance of human beings
With Eerie Melancholy,
The earth may be in a different mood
to start a new root,
Civilization is renewing the lease,
With Corona a new light may shine,
Without death new life is not possible.
