Afraid To Face Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Afraid to face
Tuesday,17th March 2020
In the early morning you hear the voice of cock

people rise from the bed and check the stock
think about the daily routine
and feel very much fine
but what has compelled nature?

threatened each individual for early cure
remain in isolation ward
and remain for few days unheard
whatever may be the cause

we have no choice
give full room with responsibility
corona must be contained with full possibility
all public places have been closed

it is right step and forced
for all the people to avoid direct meet
not to venture out from home and greet
thank God, some positive sign is emerging

many patients are managing
with the strict vigil
and medical authorities filling gap
cities are turning ghost places

cities are turning ghost places
everybody is afraid to face
the stark reality
emerging from this deadly disease
