It was a bright sunny morning. She was in her own school. She was walking down the same hill road that led from her school to the main road below. But something seemed so strange that day!!! She pinched herself to check whether she was daydreaming!!!! Finally! She came out of that trance. Ohhhhh!!!!!! Today she had dropped her daughter for the first time in her life....at the same school where she herself had studied two decades ago !!!!! ~Sangeeta Saikia Pathak

A land of idyllic bliss!!! Where the bright sunlight peeps in through the lush green hills lustrously; Like a golden halo!!! Where the crystal clear waters flow by seamlessly along a river; That is adorned by dolphins and fishes!!! Where the vernal lands spread across miles and miles ; With groves of shady trees alongside them!!! Where the beautiful butterflies swarm across the carpets of flowers; Where the army of bees buzz along the hives in the shady groves of trees; Where the birds and insects chirp all through the day!!! Where the glowworms glow along the marshy lakes of moonlit evenings!!! Where the darkest hours of the night sing hymns of God in deep silence!!! Where Humanity worships Mother Earth with a deep sense of reverence!!! Where the knowledge of WISDOM conspires with the breeze of pure LOVE; To build a rainbow across our Earth and the gates of Heaven!!!

You came like a showstopper first.... Displaying your might and vulnerability!!! Slowly yet steadily.... You devoured every inch of this earth!!! Casting your deadly spell on Humanity--- You began to terrify one and all!!!! You made them wear masks..... And wash their hands from time to time..... You kept them locked inside their homes for long.... Made them run into casualties and ICUs..... In thirst of their lives...... You left families shattered..... Made the orphans hankering after their dead parents.... Some turned penniless.... Some could not be even given a proper burial.... In your name!!! Enough is enough!!!! We humans have now realised our follies!!!! Like LADY MACBETH; We have purged of our sins--- As we wash our hands from time to time!!! Have mercy on us!!!! Dear Pandemic...... Just let us live!!!! #pandemic #covid19 #coronavirus #poem

There's some fear lurking in every mind---- The fear of the unknown vicissitudes of life!!! Be it the fear of thunder, lightning or storm; Or be it the unknown chapters of the Book of Life!! The fear of the hailstorm, the fear of the earthquake!!! The fear of the darkness, the fear of the surreal!!! The fear of the supernatural, the fear of the unnatural!!! The fear of God, the fear of the afterlife!!! The fear of tyranny, the fear of crucification!!! The fear of mockery, the fear of criticism!!! The fear of unhappiness, the fear of being jeered upon!!! The fear of the mighty, the fear of the invisible!!! The fear of anonymity, the fear of the void!!! The fear of the bullet, the fear of the bursting of the bomb!!! The fear of loss, the fear of Death!!! The fear of the Virus, the fear of the Pandemic!!!
