Lest We All Starve..... Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Corona arrived, corona will go
Curfew came, it will leave, too
Forces guard near your gates
Soon enough they too will have gone

Orders receiving through phones
Pharmacies deliver medicines at yours
Fish bread 'n vegetables, knocking at doors
Any moment, even they will be unheard

TVs endlessly lullabying all o' us
Very soon you will be all by your self
Even your wallet will run out of notes
and you find nothing in your kitchen racks

Look, your soil and sunlit space
still await looking up to you
Look above, sky is darkening
Clouds gather above our heads

You and I have a divine task
Lest you I and ours famish
Ere we all fall lets plant some seeds
Soon enough, they will care us.
