India COVID-21

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
