Covid- 19 Poem by Mohammad Mohi Uddin

When a mother of the third world laments for her dead infant,
Commanders from the first world offer multiplex funeral packages!
When Africa is imprisoned with hunger by white pirates,
Poets compose, rocking to and fro, odes on fruits and Emperors.
When a Syrian baby girl declares with grief
'I shall tell all the secret to Almighty Allah, '
Priests are more concerned with the sinking stars.
When all wilds are sentenced to death by dehumanized humans,
Intellectuals, inwardly and like drunkards, drink the drops of Lethe.

COVID- 19 is a leveler,
Writing a democratic elegy for all!
