Kaleidoscope: "Lives lost during lockdown"

When mankind became a prisoner,

Stuck at home, gripped with fear,

The roads were quiet, nature the listener,

We witnessed it last year with frozen tears.

Many a lives lost to the dreaded disease,

The new norms were set to bring in change,

Stats changed, in the houses, on the streets,

Locked in homes, facing the facts strange.

Cows, dogs and crows were seen all around,

On lifeless beaches, in greens and grounds.

Remembering the year that went by,

Offering us whole new learning,

Survival stories written with spirits high,

Ends they say are the new beginnings.
