The deadly contagion crept sneakily into our lives
As it spread like wild fire it caught us by surprise
People feared catching the disease through close contact
So they maintained safe distances as the virus incessantly attacked
A disease that took the entire world by storm
No vaccines, no cures and no medical reforms
Outbreak of pandemic exposed us to numerous health risks
And left the entire medical fraternity in a fix
Day after day the number of infected people spiked
It affrighted people and left them completely psyched
They struggled to cope with their financial losses
And tried to make do with limited resources
Several measures were taken to stop the contagion’s spread
Around the world that had led to millions of deaths
Social distancing and quarantine were practiced to name a few
People became alert and slowly awareness grew
This contagion has hit the economy to such an extent
Life has come to a standstill and left many homeless
Amidst lockdowns, people are undergoing bouts of depression
In every field, this has led to severe regression
Unforgettable shall remain this period of overwhelming fear
When will this contagion be eradicated it isn’t clear
The world may someday bounce back to its old ways
But personal losses and scars are here forever to stay
