Nature strikes back
The cities that never slept
Finally took the much needed break
Not because they had to,
But for humanity's sake
From bustling traffic & crowd around
To 1000s of flights up in the sky
Now the roads seems deserted
Need we ask why ?
Chirping is the new honking
City-air is finally clear
Families now spend time together
But the world is in fear
As all nature’s free offerings
This time came at a cost
A deadly virus outbreak
And millions of lives already lost
Nature taught a lesson
By breaking the cycle of HUSTLE
As a payback to mankind’s attitude
An ensuing yet silent tussle
For once humanity was equal
Because it hit us all
Regardless of religion or race
Unmindful of status, big or small
It hit us hard , where it hurts
Medicine world still burning midnight oil
Healthcare & public service people
left world begeistert by their toil
Some striving to keep their jobs
Some struggling to make ends meet
With our safety masks on
Let’s help today someone eat
With distance maintained wide apart
Let's get closer with heart
Some losses are not recoverable
But some are, so let’s start
Let’s be more human
Let every step we take be green
This is the kingdom of Nature
And all hail ‚Nature - the Queen
In our all walks of lives
To be ethical is the key
It’s easy to choose the right thing
Only that way we can be free
Science has and will unravel mysteries
For eras to come
But let’s not be greedy
Or be crazy dumb
Let‘s progress but with caution
& no harm will befall
For we don’t want to kindle a fire
That can burn us all
