A LOOK AT LIFE-101

    COLLECTIVE WILL WINS

In between you and me
Are my will and determination
The invisible shadow of my father
My mother and her touch of grace and love
The collective wishes and goodwill of all
The pulse and beats of my nation
The bond of  love and affection 
That binds me with others 
Wishes of my elders and youngsters 
Standing like a rock 
The longing for a better tomorrow 
That pushes me hard not to come out
But remain inside and wait
For that glorious yesterday to reincarnate 
Into a golden tomorrow 
For the sake of me, my family and country 
Neither I can allow you to come near
And kiss me on my mouth, eyes and nose
Nor you can  cross the barrier on your own
And come near and prey on my flesh and blood 
Till I am true to me, my conviction
 And the spirit of my nation

I can never betray the hopes of millions
I can never be the cause of their misery 
I can not allow me and my family to struggle Against the virus and put others in danger 
I can never afford to go down tamely  to a virus
I can not see people dying in numbers 
I will never let the virus find me in crowded lanes
I will let it starve and  perish in our empty streets
Searching in vain for human bodies 
I am sure that time is not far
When our collective will shall prevail 
Over the dreaded virus and
Our yesterday will return with 
Renewed grace and vigour
