Let’s Reunite

A Few Words

This poem was composed in the wake of Amphan, the cyclone that swept human happiness away, to add fuel to the fire of COVID-19.

The poem --- 'Let’s Reunite'

We gave up our unity

With each and every barrier;

Abandoned integrity

Ushers in each disaster.

 

With our “narrow domestic walls”,

We all live in a cocoon;

Do we ever answer Nature’s call?

How do we expect her boon?

 

We defiled her to the utmost;

Aye! We love to hate;

With our unpremeditated boast,

We’ve brought in such a state.

 

We endeavoured to 'modernise'

This world of ours;

Nature will now all traumatise;

No lenience of flowers.

 

Corona’s raid,

Amphan’s dread

Turns us all afraid;

Once, Nature bled.

 

It’s time, it’s time,

When we must get unified;

Unity should chime,

Else we’ll get more petrified.

 

It’s the moment, it’s the moment,

When we all must sympathise;

To get rid of such confinement,

Let’s this earth re-naturalise.

 

With Pride, Envy, Lust,

We’ve made this earth an inferno;

With Greed, with Disgust,

We do suffer the bleeding blow.

 

One good deed a day,

At least, if we do,

We’ll keep the storms away;

We’ll feel ever-new.

 

Let’s renovate each thought;

Let’s renovate our aspect;

Things won’t be brought to naught;

Let’s love, and unite, and respect.
