corona flutter

I was already running out of time. The news was all over the place. I was waiting for any chance to get into the boss’ cabin while it was still an hour for official timings to leave the office. Can’t wait anymore. “Sir, may I come in”. The door closer which otherwise takes seconds to close took like years that time. Still waiting for the door to close, and waiting and waiting. I turned my head and it seem sir was also waiting for the door to close along with his own mouth which might have left open to say “yes, come in”.

My granny used to teach during childhood, Person's worth is known when not around, Mother Nature made us learn it now, Social Distancing is the way it found. Doctors, nurses, police and real society cleansers, Stood in front to battle it out, Five minutes clap and nine minutes lamp, All bow to the heroes beyond doubt. --------------------- We fumble, we grumble, we always used to rumble, Lockdown has taught us, really how to be humble, We amass money, we cheat health, Found zillion ways, to skip what is worth, with stealth, This virus make us reconsider and redefine real wealth. Vaccine still seems far far away, Everyone is eager...
