Corona 's Home

Tired of roaming around
in the unwholesome air
he enters the body of the
human being to taste the
choice of its own life,
it enters the lungs to breathe
and purify its own blood.

The allure of unknown
unseen predator has
darkened the earth
Mother Nature is quiet
watching her children running
here and there to save their lives
whom they call humans.

Man is maddened
by the internal strife
he runs to the doctor,
who isolates him prisoner like
without guilt or crime.

He prays wishes to light a lamp
before his deity
but all temples are closed
as He is quarantined.

The leaders of the world
feel  helpless,
man is the plume of creation,
now is gilted waiting for the end.
Making the body home for the alien
he has alienated himself.


Who and what is this Corona,
has it come to make us more
aggressive in thought and action
more violent and inventive to kill,
or Corona has come to teach man
how to behave, admire, respect
and submit to Nature:
Nature is the only God Principle
and man must surrender his ego.

Is this Armageddon or Kurukshetra
we need not know:
Life is to be lived
to do good to each other
with Nature as the
presiding deity of our actions.
