What worth is a life,
when one can actually afford to be dead?
I wrote this and not Rumi,
since I will die, and Rumi will always live

More often I paste it on my lips,
a cosmetic for social acceptance,
and only when I am alone,
is the smile the summary of
my beating heart,
what the soul felt!

(with an apology to Pink Panther)
Ice melts,
Hurricanes rage,
Permafrost thaws,
Methane burps,
Temperature shoots,
Sea level rises,
Agriculture fails,
Drinking water shortages,
Tsunamis show their might,
Landslide kills,
Pandemic thrives,
Fishes stop breeding,
Insects go out of sight,
and, human beings exit, stage left!

If the end is nigh,
light up your hearts,
for we all die!

'Who am I', if you ask!
With a grin I say, 'A Man in a Mask'

Laffing is the best medicine,
Alas, not always life saving!

What fun is life, if it doesn't end,
A virus with no ways for a mend,
Time for sorrows to blend,
A moment for the universe, less for man to lend!

Bergamo is a ghost town,
Wuhan the reason to frown,
A little virus painted us gray, maybe brown,
And it hits the lungs, and also wears a crown
So much for the markets and the stocks,
Many people go home with the box,
Most of the stores are locked,
Deserted streets, airports and the docks
Never known an enemy as this,
It kills silently, not even a snake's hiss,
A cough, a cold and soon life is amiss,
It will not spare you, even if you are a prince
New York is next in line,
A pandemic, worse than fever of the swine,
Wash your hands, and try not to whine,
Put on a mask, the air is not too fine
Is it the time for twilight?
The end of our might?
The world hangs by a thread too tight,
Save our souls, quite

May sweet slumber come
with you in my embrace,
and at dawn the sun feels
shy to rise.
