Re-Impose Lockdown Poem by Mohammad Younus

Lockdown be strictly reimposed -
if humankind is to be saved,
From this massive cataclysm -
It's the only way out!
I fear, it will be rigorously resisted,
By businesslords -citing the impending catastrophe -economic breakdown -the great recession,
They have on their side the small-minded men,
Willing to sacrifice many for the few -
The presidents, P.M's, and the ultra nationalist politicians-
Dissipatings national wealth on political campaigns,
For less idealistic reasons -the expendable! the dispensable!
I call out the conscientious citizens of the world -
Go into self quarantine,
Expect to be infected by asymptomatic people,
Walking around freely - - not knowing they are spreaders -
Who flout masking -pooh pooh social distancing -
Ignorant of being the cause of death -for their kith and kin; near and dear -
Unsuspecting relatives, friends, neighbors, and co-workers,
We live in perilous times -
The Neo fascists and ultra nationalists
lead us to devastation,
They, for petty economic and political reasons,
Are least concerned about protecting human life,
Lifting lockdown at this critical time doubtlessly,
Is an unforgivable crime against humanity
