As they drove past those buildings
As if temples
Looking for God,
every few seconds they stopped
In oxygen
Or in the form of medicine
All they sought was just a necessity..
To be able to breathe, to live, to be..
enough nothing was,
it was all so scarce..
But the virus, contagious..
Multiplying at a fast pace
No more hospital beds
Scanty basic resources
India now with half the world’s new cases..
Atrocious end of families
Desperate patients turning into bodies
To worship, they’d been looking everywhere
Until they couldn’t see anymore..
COVID 19,20, now 21…
Hope’s all we had, but it too seems to be none
