Mother


                                          (Ottava Rima of abababcc Rhyme)

                                      For a child, home is indeed the first school 
                                   Mother is the first teacher to teach first things
                                       Toddling and lisping sans the help of tool
                                      The baby in mother's care like the nestlings
                                       She nurtures the baby never for any rule
                                          But for mother's love to lull in swings
                                            In her supervision the baby grows
                                            The baby is like the king in glows.

Corona Virus

Corona Virus, were you self-born?
Were you a creation of someone?
Unseen to the eye and unheard to the ear
Your birthplace, Wuhan known for tear.
All know that you did not descend from the sky
Nor were you a sky-lab for fears high.
Scientists invented vaccines for all viruses
Not to let any nation fall into crises.
You differ in your annihilating powers,
Carriers to spread death-fears and death-tears
So small that seen microscopically
To cause always jitters globally.
All over the earth, you are the earthquake
With tremors every inch to everyone's shake
Irrespective of man-created barriers.
Lows and highs with no and cozy shelters
You are the pandemic, the merciless killer
With infection to all alike, a leader and a tiller,
All the people find a way to keep you out
In unseen shackles in no doubt,
Staying indoors under the lock-down
To empty roads, to leave you sans crown
Police-brothers, friendly officials for service sure
God-like-doctors with all personnel to cure,
The infected, and treat them recover
Without caring for their lives ever,
Against you, it is the battle worldwide,
You are power but conquest is on man's side,
You can let the victory go to the human,
Our leaders for their service yeoman.
