Haiku on Covid-19
K V Dominic
Congregation prays:
God save us from the pandemic
God: I am helpless
Man: Aren’t we your dearest?
God: It’s your ego tells you so
All my creations darling to me
Man complains to God:
Are we fated to live with mask?
God: Enough you polluted air
Dawn now echoes birds’ chirps:
Thank you, thank you, thank you God
For restoring our rights
Coronavirus to man:
A lesson for your conceit
Be humble and kind
Man to coronavirus:
What harm have we done to you?
Virus: you called us
Earth to human beings:
Except you all are happy now
Reward for your crimes
God to human beings:
Mask you wear is punishment
For masking in your lives
Little boy to mom:
You punished for using cell phone
Now force for online classes
Earth to human beings:
You wash your hands for survival
Crimes’ blood still remains
Infants wail to guilty adults:
Pandemic is your own product
We are drowned in it
Animals warn humans:
Exploit more you perish more
Creator protects us
Mother Earth to quarryman:
How ruthless you dynamite
Mother’s breasts that fed you!
River to her mother sea:
Man raped and stabbed head to foot
Threw his waste on me
Plight of human being:
Social being now antisocial
Result of his karma
Members of same group
Bound to keep distance each other:
Reward of leagued crimes
Animals to humans:
You are caged and we are free
Tit for tat, mind you!
