The Lockdown

The story behind the poem

Of course, Corona and lockdown have shattered our lives into pieces. Still, we can look at the positive side of this scenario as well. For example, we have been given a pure Nature, a pure atmosphere once again. We have been gifted with another chance to get ourselves rectified as well. Like an optimist, we must try to drain out the positive out of the negative. We should not break down. We have been given another opportunity to prove ourselves anew. Let's plunge in.

The poem-- "The Lockdown"

I desire it sometimes,

Perchance, a lot of times,

This lockdown not to end;

I've found out my best friend --

My own mirror image --

That was like a mirage

In the past days indeed;

Nowadays, I got myself freed

From every shackle;

Time can't me buckle;

I am my own boss;

Time can't take away my gloss.

Nature feels so pure

With fresh oxygen, for sure.

No din and bustle!

No kind of hassle!

There monetary need might be;

But man, "Character is destiny".

Let's all live in the present

With the Corona confinement.

Everything can't be negative;

We must drain out what's positive.
