Omicron - Spare The World To Enjoy Their Quota Of Life Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

And whether it is the Covid 19,
or the Delta or the Omicron variant,
they all thrust their power
all over the world
from country to country
from city to city
that as someone coughs or sneezes
they infect and send the victims to the bed
whether it is at home or at the hospital ward;
the infection forces people to sleep in isolation
when human beings are always prone to
routine freedom and consistent socialization;
so how callous can these viruses be
that they choose to asphyxiate their victims
that as someone goes on a ventilator to survive
they struggle there and some just die
while some just fight the infection
and get back home with prolonged side-effects;
and as these viruses in form of variants
keep throwing life and everyone out of gear,
due to the fear everyone keeps panicking
and worrying who will it target next;
how does this ever benefit a virus
and how long will it all last and linger
and make people anxious and nervous
that they have to choose to walk with face masks
or stay indoors to save themselves
from the command of infections and the variants;
and though no one wants to stay apart
or have no friends and parties,
neither no one wants to stop
their daily routine and their inter-actions
yet everyone surrenders to the helplessness
and vulnerability they have to confront
day after day, month after month
and year after year;
and as no one wants to face more of sufferings
that the viruses keep inflicting on our world,
no one wants to stop breathing
but everyone wants to celebrate life every day
as man is born free
and to live freely and healthily
is his will and liberty
as life once lost or disabled never returns back
to its original form of happiness;
so, everyone wants to breathe to exist
and fill their lungs with air and not suffocate;
everyone wants to walk ahead
to live in peace and global harmony.

Will the viruses ever permit our universe
to return to its former grace,
will our earth ever shine again with good health
so that we can love and care for each other
as we rise every day and watch the enchantment
of the stars and the moon when we go to slumber
as passing years will discard age and enthusiasm
and to be content and fit is everyone's preference;
and to enjoy the blessing of fresh air and respiration
is our prize and privilege gifted to us by God,
so Covid 19 and the variants please go
and vanish from this world, I implore you,
so that we can live gracefully our quota of life
in tune with the days that destiny has allotted to us.
