Pandemic!!
We are people from same land
We are born in same country
We are having same skin color
We are living in same era
We are facing samePsame
BUT
Are we really same?
Some of us are working from home
Some of us are enjoying paid vacation
Some of us are enjoying time with family
Some of us are indulging in new hobbies
Some of us are celebrating this time
Some of us are cooking for life
Some of us are getting fit
Some of us are completing all backlog series
Some of us are scared to go out
We some of us mention above are blessed!!
Feeling secure at our home
Getting salary
Job is secured
Food is available
Roof is above us
Few of us are fighting for all of us
Few of us are going on duties
Few of us are risking their life
Few of us are risking their family lives
Few of us are spending time in hospitals
Few of us are spending time on roads
Few of us are spending time in offices
Why?
To make us secure
To cure us
To keep environment clean
To help the needy
To keep this country going
To keep their job safe
To keep India safe
Some of us are blessed to have this few of us in our life!!!
Many of us are fighting a difficult battle
Many of us are unemployed
Many of us are Walking on street
with their children’s
With their luggage
No food
No Water
No job
No Money
No roof
Pandemic is like a curse to them
ONCE
They were running the economy
Left their hometown to serve us
Left their families to earn money
Left their heart to serve the Urban India
Now
What we have given them in return
We have left them
Crippled
Alone
Abandon
Unwanted
Helpless
My heart goes to them
When I see them locked like animals in some old schools
When I see them going on trucks like some goods
When I see them walking in 40 degrees of heat
When I see them starving for 18 hours
When I see their kids walking with them
When I see them loosing hope!!
NOBODY DESERVES THIS!
No human being should be treated like this!
Some of us are really BLESSED!!!
Some of us should do something for Many of us
Some of us should become like few of us
We some of us are really sorry for not realizing what many
of us are going through
We some of us are really sorry we are not helping as few of
us are doing
We some of us are really sorry to complaint during lock down
We some of us are really sorry to take things for granted
We some of us are really sorry to be so selfish
We some of us are really thankful for few of us for their
dedication!!
We some of us will support many of us in whatever way we can
We some of us will support economy in whatever way we can.
