In The Times Of Corona Poem by Bharati Diggikar

In the times of Corona

The night sings and dances.
Before the final nap
Bow, go, bestow senses
in its inky dark lap

Today is no different.
Myth is also a memory
Stored by old women,
wrapped in faded glory

‘The night rose ferociously,
fragrant and insane
Skies showered wet darkness
in the name of rain

Whirlpools abounded
Water walls crashed in
Elements on the rampage!
Rescue us! ' -was the din

Elements on the rampage
Mankind in a weird lair
A savage pathogen siege
Laissez-faire most unfair


Machines come to a halt
We drown in waves Karma
The slackened juggernaut
Seeks You, O subtle Dharma.
