Under Lockdown Poem by Mohammad Younus

Pandemic ritual...
Corona cuts off
The live branches from
the family tree of
Mankind

After killing,
Their hosts,
The Corona guests,
Sleeping under,
The faded leaves

I and me alone,
Mad world locked down,
Peace and love reigns
In my quarantine
Old fashioned samovar
someone longing
In my mother's home
To relish the quarantine

Old fashioned samovar
someone longing
In my mother's home
To relish the quarantine

Today are basking
Near the window pane
An old girl and her young boy friend
In their quarantine
