What precisely had happened,
he tried to recall it, bit by bit
took ample time to interpret,
but ultimately could not realize it
Dead for sure, should have no doubt,
died of a virulent virus COVID 19
blew up his breath organs fiercely,
with a lung infection, fulminating
To be honest, a horrible death,
but in that struggling moment
sensed someones awful entry,
God in person popped up with a suitcase
hung from his hand,
came closer, he perceived
announced in an unruffled voice,
"be ready son, it's time to leave"
'So soon sir?" it's beyond belief,
have pity, I'm a corona victim
a sufferer faced entire ordeals,
d' dreaded disease I'm fighting
I'm sorry, unable to help you,
scores of my projects yet undone
by and by must curb tons of lives,
population control my concern
In a short span, a job ticklish,
for you, it's d' time to go,
outrightly I dismiss your wish
you had already contacted d' disease,
yet enacted d' drama of Janata curfew
didn't go for testing, lit candle clapped
ought to be punished in my view
But sir, I'm curious to know,
what's there in that suitcase?
It's all your belongings
u mean my clothes, jewelry cash
Those precious were never yours,
to d' Earth, they belong
u earned those as a stopgap,
can't keep those for too long
Is it my sweet-sad memories?
that last forever
often make me regret
often I feel it's my treasure
Neither d' affable moments,
nor situations alarming
d' events created memory,
all belong to the time
So it must be my talents
things I achieved on own efforts,
brought me eminence
no its d' property of circumstances
I'm totally confused,
is it wishes from my family,
relatives, friends, and well-wishers
no, in your spun out journey,
they were just d' co-commuters
their wishes, not your property,
belong to the path u covered
Is it my wife and children's concern?
no, they were too close,
their worries belong to your heartthrobs
Then it must be my miniature body?
no, your body belongs to d' dust
in d' dust it will be lost
Not even the body? sir,
surely it's my soul?
Not at all,
your soul belongs to me,
in d' prime soul it will mingle
Tried out several times,
yet u are not able to guess
now I'll handover you d' suitcase
With tearful eyes and nervousness,
from God, he received d' suitcase
opened it fast with much enthusiasm
to check,
what could be his precious belongings
He was hurt in heart, it was empty
tear flooding down his cheeks
in a loaded voice, he asked
sir, I never owned anything?
You are right in thinking
Then? What was mine?
It's only your moments
days, hours, minutes and seconds
each moment you lived was yours
for d' next birth do remember...
Do good each moment, be useful
think positive each moment,
build-up a perfect attitude
thank God for all events,
that happens each moment,
be a person soulful
Life is just a few moments
live it.., love it..., relish it to d' full
your time was up, d' toll due to u,
was li'l corona trouble
take nothing for granted,
life is like an air bubble
