Lockdown Time

They say it is a happy time They can see peacocks dancing Monkeys running in roads and prancing And birds opening their wings wide chirping They say it is happy time With sky looking blue and clear With greenness extending far and near With the hill sitting afar like an ageless seer They say it is happy time Inside homes they are enjoying Cooking, reading, writing and playing With exercise and care their bodies glowing They don't say about hunger How days are tough for the poor Inside his home he lives as a stranger His children are dying out of thirst and hunger
