Tiny (A Poem)

 A Poem for Lockdown

Tiny!

No one knew what ‘Tiny’ really meant,

Till they met someone really tiny.

‘Name’s Corona,

I have tied humanity up,

In the confines of homes and mental ramparts,

People aspire to get back to ‘normal’ routines,

No. They can’t! 

A mere virus has taken over the world,

Like a brute force....blitzkrieg might sound better!

‘Look at the vastness with eyes new,

You have almost forgotten how to sing or be joyful,

Forget the bitterness of the past,

Look at relationships anew,

Heal nature and your broken hearts,

I am a voluptuous opportunity,

Not just a rotten problem,

Get out of quagmires of human greed and folly,

Use hope and wisdom to pull out,

Pick up your quivering spirits!

Become the child you once were,

Look at the vastness with eyes new!’
