Lockdown Be Strictly Reimposed Poem by Mohammad Younus

Lockdown be strictly reimposed...
...if humankind is to be saved,
From this massive cataclysm...
...It's the only way out!
I fear, it will be rigorously resisted...
...by business-oriented persons...
...citing the impending catastrophe...
... the likely economic breakdown...
...the great recession! ,
They have on their side the small-minded men,
Willing to sacrifice many for the few...
...the presidents, P.M, 's, and...
...the ultra nationalist politicians...
...dissipatings national wealth on...
...political campaigns, the hate campaigns! ...
...for less idealistic reasons...
...the expendable! the dispensable!
I call out the conscientious citizens of the world -
Go into self quarantine,
You're prone to get infected by...
...asymptomatic people, walking around freely...
...not knowing they are spreaders...
...who flout masking, and pooh pooh...
...social distancing -
Ignorant of being the cause of death...
...for their kith and kin; near and dear...
...Unsuspecting relatives, friends, ...
...neighbors, and co-workers,
We live in perilous times...
...when the Neo fascists and...
...ultra nationalists lead us to devastation,
For petty economic and political reasons,
They are least concerned about protecting...
...invaluable human life,
Lifting lockdown at this critical time doubtlessly, ...
...is an unforgivable crime against humanity.
