No Disrespect-Dead Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

No disrespect-dead
Saturday,8th May 2021

No arguments
in favour or against
it can give honour to dead
our tearful eyes fail to read

what an ill-fate!
we have to witness and relate
not more mourners can attend
and not even friends

such an invisible virus takes a heavy toll
totally paralyzing and calling upon people
to observe strict guidelines
and social distance

it is huge onslaught
that we are caught
unaware and off the guard
we have no words to express or to be heard

nobody wants to disrespect human bodies
nobody wants to deny the medicines
it is the greatest tragedy of all times
it makes us helpless sometimes

everything we hear and lament
but no one can present a rosy picture
even developed countries suffered
we wish to come out successful when offered assistance shall be of a great use
