Corona Pandemic: Harish Mangalam

Everywhere around people are afraid,

Anxious and agitated they ask:,' what happened?'

'It's Corona Pandemic,' you say.

Though you have undergone cataract operation and yet there are nets in the eyes,

With the eyes there in place , don't you see the hundred thousand workers in difficulties?

'Its Corona Pandemic,' you say.

With the lockdown, the people are shut down,

Home shelters are house full and the police beats black and blue.

Insult added to injury, like distance from birth to birth.

Neither compensation, nor some food to eat,

My wjfe is dead , out of hunger,distressed,

'Its Corona Pandemic,' you say.

Frustration and cruelty dark sheet enveloping every thing

The thread of disgusting economy snapped and loosened,

The lamps of blind faith lit, and thali sound was hollow,

' the weak husband is bold on wife'

Hence they blame the tablagi and yanadi communities,

'Its Corona Pandemic,' you say.

Since centuries, this country harbours SARS,

Mob lynching, rapes and gangs of cow protectors move around,

The cannibals attack, ' red salute,zindabad ' and 'jai bhim', 

'It's Corona Pandemic,' you say.

The bhuva shouts, and the ghost of patriotism gets posessed

The Fascists lick the soles of the capitalists.

What can we do?

The hunger strikes all around,

We stand in the front in the world in death rate and malnutrition.

'It's Corona Pandemic,' you say.

O patriots, read the history, awake humanity,

Now set afire, the criminal gangs,

Remember, Savitribai, breathed her last serving the community affected by plague.

'It's Corona Pandemic,' you say.

For one Nirbhaya, hundred million candles are lit,

For another, the doors of silence shut tightly.

You bury the culture of discrimination,

No double standards, please!

'It's Corona Pandemic,'  you say.
