May 2020
Tongues wag, some even lash,
Virus was definitely made in China,
Some don't skip to play mischief,
Say it's led into US from Havana.

Think of China, hear virus news,
If I imagine dragon, I would not be alone,
Name any nation which is spared,
Whole world's has become a killing zone.

Vietnam war toll fades into oblivion,
Virus now proves to be the biggest killer,
No faith cure survives its onslaught,
No vaccine yet, drugs fail to be healer.

Some attribute it to animals or aves,
Some assert it's produced in lab,
No planes, no ship, no guns, no missile,
Nuke powers wilt like hollow slab.

One would chuckle at stress on hygiene,
Man,, our parents had taught it long back,
In fact everybody is shooting in the dark,
Looking desperately for a needle in the sack.

If India shows less of casualty,
It's not a single man's feat,
Indians actually owe it to psyche,
Not taking liberty in eating meat.

Then, mask was not an original ploy,
You'll find it worn by many seers here,
Veg is in, large meat should be out,
Nose is wet, there is nothing to fear.
