Never had I
ever thought
that a day
like this would come
when
humankind will be shunned
from going
outside and dreaming of one
Never had I
ever thought
An invisible
storm will hit us all so hard
that our
lives will come back to square one
and
materialism will become a thing of discard
Never had I
ever thought
that in a world where people stopped for none
will come to
a standstill, silence, and vulnerability
A progressive
nation like our would crash into a downturn
Never had I
ever thought
that our
silly generation will sit back and reflect
on deep scars
and damage, it did to mother earth
Vow for real
to address them and fix the defect
Never had I
ever thought
that locking
down the human race
will actually
free up the mother earth
which for a
long time was confined to
ungrateful
bearers, negligence, and dearth

Never had I ever thought
ReplyDeletethat I will take years
to stop by, read your poem
and leave a comment.
It was always instant,
almost on the same day
of your blog post.
Never had I ever thought!
Loved your poem and the capture, little one!
Here's my take on the topic - Love In The Time Of Virus: The Lockdown And Thereafter
Someone is Special
Simran, never had anyone of us thought this... You beautifully brought out your, I mean our, thoughts through this poem. Really loved these lines: "Never had I ever thought that locking down the human race will actually free up the mother earth."
ReplyDeleteAll the best for blogaton as well as the lockdown. Here's my take on this crisis:
Unfinished work left in our bags
Lovely poem, Simran. It is simple and so easy to relate with. My favorite part was the last one! I enjoyed reading this post. Thank you. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteDear Simran,
ReplyDeleteBeautifully penned and expressed !!
It was absolutely mind blowing to see the air quality index improve in mere 7-10 days.
Clear skies in a week,
Cleaner surroundings, no traffic jams!
After all god knew mother nature needed a detox as well :)

Hi Simran, you have beautifully captured the essence of Lockdown. Even on 20th March I never thought that - what is happening now would happen. I liked this poem. There is no exaggeration but apt description of the present.
ReplyDeleteNever had I ever thought, in 2020 I would be taught how to wash hands for 20 seconds... Oh Dang! You got me going...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lines...I liked reading it...
