The New Wave Poem by Rucita Mittal

The pandemic paves its way,
For lockdown, fatalities and many miserables on the way,
But the evils spell was transformed into a new sparkle,
As the new age of digitalization followed thereafter.

As everyone was trapped in their home,
Freedom was what one realized one had,
Nature so precious, healed now,
But previously we failed to believe,
It was we who had stifled it down.

Now no going out,
But living need money throughout,
So digitalization boom was on its way;
Mobiles, laptops increased with medical sale,
A new era started,
People started saying it's the new normal,
But was it normal?
No, it was " new" but not so " normal".

Yes no doubt,
Digitalization simplified our life,
Less travelling, everything at a click,
For those who had the reach;
But this is not what is like true life,
Previously life was good one felt,
But for the need of the hour
This was the new normal
One had no choice but to accept.

Health care with medical care,
Fitness and knowledge spread,
With work from home
Everyone got a flexible space to interact
And plethora of opportunities laid on everyones way
Those who utilized this new digital
Would win the race.

‘Survival of the fittest' as Darwin said
This pandemic was the test of the same
Those who were disciplined,
Took all precautions,
Following rules and regulations,
Wearing mask, social distancing,
Shall survive this spell
Others may succumb to it
Failing to change with the change.

But nonetheless,
Seeing positive in negative
Family bonding grew
Those who had not met and spent time with family
Got a chance to
Rebalance their life
A new beginning it was true

This new wave of digitalization,
Has tremendously changed our life,
Adoption of environment friendly ways,
Curbing destruction in all possible way,
Institutions making education a waste free venture,
With less and less of paperwork,
More use of technology,
A disciplined pedagogy,
Leading to sustainable ecology.

Salute to the forefront warriors of Covid-19,
Doctors, nurses, delivery worker and all others,
Whom we know not
But they pass each day,
Helping others day and night,
With unity we all can survive
And where lies humanity
There lies the sparkle of happiness
Wiping all the tears of sadness.
