Will We Win In War With Mist And Fog? Poem by Ramesh T A

A month or so mist and fog will show their valour to test the calibre of world people;
Sans best food and full body covering dress as armour none can win tn this battle;
This is the time of the year most of the elderly deaths are commonly witnessed;
My elders have passed away so even before crossing seventh decade to heaven!

2020 and 2021 have tested the whole of mankind by Corona pandemic relentless;
By cleanliness, wearing face mask, maintaining social distance and staying home
Many have won the war with them and before breathing a sigh of relief, Omicron has come
To test the armoury of everyone's resistance and run away by all people's might soon!

Sans strong body and steady mind, wealth and knowledge can't be utilized effectively;
But sans foresight and wisdom facing all adversities in all weathers, victory is nil;
Knowing these and maintaining oneself only next harvest and new spring of Nature can we see;
Lessons of the past say clearly what's necessary to be steady to withstand adversities!

Culture says best of thoughts and knowledge to pass on to present and to future;
Failing to respect Cultural life, harmony with Nature and love of art all will fall down!
