A recap and recount of lockdown scenarios worldwide


https://youtu.be/pQf4qIju0_E

 

Humans have long trespassed

and destroyed animal territories,

Humans have poached

And selfishly encroached

upon animal habitats,

cutting down trees

to build human habitations.

 

Now the tables have turned

Humans are quarantined in house arrest

while some lie sick in bedrest

So animals not usually seen are having a field day

roaming upon roads,

crossing the streets.

Reclaiming the once jungle lands,

that had been turned into concrete urban jungles.

It's better that busy humans now become photoholic

than forever queueing in lines of heavy traffic.

Without human pollution,

nature is all the more photogenic.

Mother nature all a creation of God
has now had many of us grounded

as she gives us a hiding

while we go into hiding.

Extraordinary turn of events indeed!!

In several countries round the world:
Discos and casinos vacated

Pubs and nightclubs evacuated

Bars shutdown for lockdown

People are behind bars
 instead of guzzling beer in bars

and instead of animals behind bars.

Humans compelled to hibernate

so animals busted their cell gate

Priorly animals were in an enclosure

Now they are getting free exposure
Self-centred humans cared mostly about themselves

but now the animal kingdom is the cynosure.

Animals were shut in cages
 and now human activity is under similar closure.

 

Ah, this corona crisis!

Is all this mercenary stasis

for humans a roasting nemesis?

 

A heavy price to pay for rapacious carelessness and arrogance

where humans acted like they are in control,
like they are controllers of this planet

and they could do anything they wish with it.

It's ignorance to think all this is mere coincidence.

 

Im relieved our prayers can be said any place, anywhere

to kneel and bow to the one true real sustainer of the universe.

We need to invoke and supplicate to the creator who is still in control...

as prayer can really truly prevent fear anxiety and panic in such scary times.
