Covid Buster Of Kerala Poem by narayana aghalaya

Covid Buster Of Kerala



on twentieth Jan
we all heard, of new virus
from China's Wuhan
that can, in days, pounce on us
most, cursed China in chorus

but Shailaja Ma'm
in no time, swung to action
'let China, be damned;
panic, let our people shun;
we fight as one, please mention.'

in four months four deaths
and some, five hundred fell sick
now all, in pink of health
of states, Kerala is the pick
looks like Ma'm has done magic

Shailaja Teacher
is Kerala's Minister;
now World watches her!
she is, our Covid buster
and now Kerala's rock-star

Covid pandemic
is a public health issue;
if just one is sick
quarantine him, if not rue
as, whole township is in queue

break the chain early
or else repent in leisure
as you are surly!
this simple trick our Ma'm ensured
the results also endured

the state's grassroots work-
that is Marxist legacy
that everywhere lurks;
add to it literacy
Ma'm as leader, almost fussy

huge death toll abroad
surprised Ma'm; her quick response
put her on right road.
West, played with people like pawns
they died in droves, as pros and cons.
