It’s as if
The world has succumbed to a death wish!
The basic instinct of all beings
Is to evade injury, death
To oneself at any cost
All other needs sidelined.
But an obstinate contrariness
Has struck many human beings
Its as if they want to die en masse
Before their time
A kind of misadventure;
To use a wild-west phrase
A one way ticket to boothill
As COVID 19 will get you
Even if you have the fastest draw.
As a Kerala way of speaking goes
WE SHALL SEE WHAT WE SHALL SEE.
