The birthday bashes and
Late night crashes,
Chanting of prayers and
Our cricket team players,
The road rage and
DJ-ing stage,
Marriages and processions,
And those graduating sessions,
International travel and
Vegas gamble,
Noodles and shakes and
The pretty birthday cakes,
Visit to Grandma and grand-pop and
The City life hip-hop,
Basket of roses and
Those proposes,
Theatres and movies,
Shows and promos,
Deadlines and busy life,
Now you have time for your wife,
The masses have stopped
After all the mother Earth have been robbed,
But now it’s healing and re-booting,
And the stars have started shooting,
The night sky is clear,
The pollution is gone,
It’s your prayer that this
disease was never ever born,
A-las! Only eat, sleep, repeat,
And this you can’t cheat,
After all it’s lockdown and
My dear friend that’s
a complete break-down,
All at still,
Not even a single chill…
And then I woke up!
