In the time of coronavirus pandemic. There are some advantages and disadvantages because of it. The poet is a bit confused about which one is good. In short, the poem is about the confusion of the human psyche to call it good or bad.

War or Peace

As coronavirus globally knocks,

I’m totally stuck,

In a sort of paradox.

Are we going through war or peace?

In the age of it.

When thousands of deaths are appearing

Every day,

And humankind is feeling unsure to see a new

Dawn.

When the economy is stumbling,

And destitute are dying due to starving.

When the opportunity for employment is no more,

And the poor are becoming poorer.

When unavailability of foods is inviting conflict,

And then government performing as impotent as King Lear,

All those terrific situations are befalling,

Then surely, a war is existing.

When no factory is producing materials,

When no vehicles moving on,

When no sort of pollution is high,

Then nature of nature has its true self.

Like the sky seems blue,

And dancing clouds looks like a little elf,

When

Scent of raining,

Dolphins’ dancing,

Birds’reclaming,

And it’s chirping,

All that is being heard and seen

Then surely, peace is existing
