Lock down


For peace of the world
For the rest of the earth
every year for a fortnight
lets celebrate lock down
for your
lets think :
race for where
development for what
you reach early to the end of life
if you run very fast

why do you make your journey
where there is no break, no signal
road accidents minimised

every year at-least days fifteen
let the air breath clean
economic war


It was a need of the time,
Dr. Hercules felt his duty, prime,
to extend his services for treatments 
the Corona infected patients.

Though he was a neurosurgeon,
had no case in hand for operation;
but he din't stay at his apartment
started treating Corona patients.

For his dedicated work, reward in return,
he got the Covid 19 infection.

Twenty first April of twenty twenty,
the day played a game utmost dirty.
Corona virus took his life, 
though he was just fifty five.

His family took him to burial site
to perform the last rites; 
but stopped them the local mob 
and attacked with sticks and rods.

Not shown even the basic humanity,
the people living in the vicinity.
For his last rites, Dr. Hercules,
the hero of 'Chennai' had to call police.
 
A vicious fear, everyone had, 
Covid 19 virus may not spread. 
Somehow buried him quietly, his friends
without any of family members present

Even after his death, Dr. had to face 
his society's given painful distress.

Dr Pradeep said that Dr Hercules continued to serve during the pandemic instead of staying home, and he most likely got the infection from one of his patients.
