Woke up to the sound of pouring rain,

Wrapped in my warm blanket this morning,

Nothing on my mind to do, 

Days, months just passing.

Almost the end of another month,

It's like, the year just started yesterday, but 

July will soon go away! 

 

Facing new kind of challenges in this new decade, 

Never thought, the movies we watched  would come true to such extent,

The pandemic situation is like a movie we watched back then,

It all seemed scary to deal with, 

Now we are starring in this movie called 2020 at present!

Spread so quickly, one by one, every nation was hit,

Lives lost, numbers kept increasing.

Economies fell, livelihoods destroyed. 

Some took measures and recovered well,

For others it's a nightmare from which they haven't woken up yet! 

Home, transformed into workplace, school,
gym..,

Online is the new outdoors, never imagined!

These seem like the only ways to stay safe, 

Wash hands, wear a mask, maintain social distancing...!

Until it is safe enough to go out freely, 

And there is no need to cover our faces, 

We need to stick by the rules and conform accordingly.

But one thing we have learnt surely through this worst reality,

Time's not guaranteed,

So, embrace little things, and don't take them for granted!
