Pandemics Too Shall Pass Poem by Mohammad Younus

Yes, most of the people are in depression;
In these pandemic days, it has become a way of life;
Are we really living or living dead?
Where is the hustle and bustle of life?
It looks like we are desperately standing...
...at the edge of our life and watching,
The doom of the world!
The doom of humanity!
Let it happen!
It has so often happened in the past;
It will happen and happen again;
We will keep on living and dying again;
Life collapses, drooping its smiling head;
At sunset, when sun leaves to shine somewhere else;
It rises from the dead at dawn again;
When sun returns to shine on it again;
The memory of past in old tombs convinces me...
That nations too rise from the dead;
New civilisations come to life...
...to meet the challenge of existance
And defeat death and annihilation of humankind;
The desire to be immortal lives deep in our heart;
And shines through our eyes, and proclaims with smile:
We shall live on! We shall not die!
Pandemics! This too shall pass!
