This past year was tough
For all of us
The foreign virus
Tried to defeat our trust
We were fighting an unknown fiend
It separated us,tried to make us weak
Destroyed our economies,thwarted our means
Of livelihood.We couldn't let it win
Warriors came in coats of white
Treating without care for there own lives
Just so humanity could survive.
Some were martyred.We cannot forget the sacrifice.
Trucks ensured we had food to eat
And all other amenities
But what of those who were away from home
Those poor,migrants and forlorn
Angel descended in human disguise
Good samaritans helped them reach their home
Helped them stay alive.
We lost some.
Some lost their jobs.
Virus tried to destroy human will.
It didn't know we were made of steel.
We persevered,we fought,we strived
Though we made mistakes, made some slights
We wore masks
We wore them with pride
In this wretched quarantine.
We were one in this fight
This pandemic
Stopped the schools
But through online classes
And teacher's will
We somehow made it through
A word of gratitude to sanitation workers
The unsung heroes of this lockdown
Working in these tough conditions
You all made us proud
And somehow by following the rules
With sheer discipline
We made it through,we made it through
This one hell of a pandemic
And now we are slowly limping back to life
The past year tested us all
We lost some
Lost some fights
I hope this year we'll win the war
It will take some time
To restart normal life
But if we persevere,fight enough
I know that this year will be bright
Dark clouds will give way to sunlight.
