During Lockdown Poem by Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh

During the Coronavirus Lockdown
not seen the race by the people to perform
religious ceremonies with greater pomps
than others,
not seen the dissapointments and disgracefullness
of the poor who cannot join the race.
The poor during the lockdown
need not borrow money nor sale properties
to join the race.
Not seen the long lines of the invitees
most of them swaggering to offer
monies of ten or twenty rupee notes
to the pala (row of bhajan singers) .
Religious ceremonies during lockdown
are compelled to be simple with limited invitees.
How beautiful the religious ceremonies are
during the coronaviruslockdown!
