Keep calm and hang on!

Where is the time to be proudly lazy

When you’ve already gone half crazy

Sweeping and mopping, puffing and panting!

After twenty cruel seconds of hand washing..

You gaze into your home with new-found awe

You realize it’s not such a bad place after-all

You wonder why you eloped every weekend

Not seeing the beauty of your bedroom’s dead end

A pandemic like the Covid, although is not fun

With the numbers shooting at the wake of the sun

Makes you pause and reflect, take a deep breath

And also makes you realize - oh you are truly blessed!

Stranded you are not, on the border roads

Like the poor migrants who’ve lost all hopes

Walking endlessly long miles together

One even carrying his child very tender

Neither are you a health care worker

Saving many lives in every corner

Putting your own precious life at risk

With not a moment spared to frisk

You are not that brave cancer fighter

Anxiously trying to remember

Which chemo it was last week

As you smile, child-like and meek

So tell yourself – just once again

You should be the last one to complain

The ask from you is not a lot, just one!

Stay at home and you’re really done!
