Life’s roads, so unpredictable
a sudden brake, brings the car
to a screeching halt.
The meandering roads show
no sign of destination,
the path ahead looks eerily dark.
A glimmer of hope
peeps in through the obscure maze
tiny luminaries twinkle bright
an effulgent moonlight beams
its magical smile,
lights up the route,
for life to move on!
This poem depicts the current situation of our life. The minute virus brought life across the globe to a grinding halt. Man felt he was armored with invincibility, making forays with such advanced technology and sophisticated gadgets. It took an infinitesimal microbe to get man on his knees and make him utterly helpless.
I hope wisdom prevails and man uses his intellect to learn an invaluable lesson from this bitter experience.
While I always like to end things on a positive note, I would like to know your thoughts on this. Do you think we will mend our ways to a better tomorrow or will we tread back on the same path all over again?
