God created Adam,
And then HE created Eve,
Both sinned and were thrown down to Earth,
Out of their progenies the world grew.
God sent many prophets to make men tread on HIS path and believe in HIM.
Obstinate man didn't listen,
Father fought with son,
Siblings fought with siblings,
Different religions sprouted with different beliefs and different Gods,
Man became bold,egoist and self centred,
From a cave man, an intelligent man to a technology man,
His ego grows,
He now thinks of himself as God,
He wants to conquer the Universe.
Enough is enough!
God sent warnings many times,
Calamities, famine,the plague,
Ebola and Aids etc,
But man finds his way out.
So God sent something lethal,
A super virus with all the strains of other viruses,
Covid 19 dangerously contagious,
Spreads easily and widely,
Enters cells quickly,
Damaging the lungs, heart and kidneys,
A virus that has man shuttered,
An economy in tatters,
Will obstinate man heed now,
Or find his way out.
