Corona And The Changed Lifestyle

CORONA has no prejudice Against any of its unsuspecting hosts, High and low, rich and poor, Powerful and powerless, Who, through their indifference And callous attitude Invite it to their homestead. Corona is deadlier than a disease. It has no vaccine as yet. It chokes its patient to death. It destroys his lungs, The patient dies gasping for breath. ‘Locked Down' and ‘Social Distancing' Are the two new terminologies Mankind is grappling with, to survive. The busy roads are empty, The pubs and the eateries are deserted, The beaches are bereft of visitors, The dolphins play sommersault there, merrily. People do ‘Work from Home', Students do distance learning, The groceries await the rare customers, The dogs cluster together on the roads, The public transports lie idle in the yards.
