Lockdown- 23rd Day Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

Stream of Karnafully river flowing in calm heart
No factory dust contaminating now its bard

I'm crossing the lane of flying birds, city to city
Everyday the sky forecasts death serials without key

Police stoppage for me, staying home alive safe first
But after crossing GEC circle thought I overcome virus

Oh, the pregnant body of wind conceives nCoV-19 well
Hearing the whistle the nose smells toxic odor of corpse

No pollution now in chaste body of nature
In reliefs allotment growing up thief character

More dead skeletons mountain of earth will kiss the sky
Maybe shocking tears of the river will hold obituaries eye
