Lock down~blessing in disguise

Spiritual wanderer

Time has dawned and showed it's mark, 

How the species has shown it's spark. 

It makes me wonder, is this the  selfish need of the country wanting to be super power, 

Or just a mere cry by our mother who lost power.

Lakhs were deceased and we heard a foul cry,

Was it a necessity which left hearts to dry?

We plead guilty in this period of lockdown ,

And ponder how ruthless we knocked our mother down. 

I urge all of you to take a minute each day,

and think what you have been doing all along the way.

The self empathy and reckeless habits we have created for us, 

Has bought forth this doom to which an end is a must . 

 Let's take time to reconcile with lost souls, 

For this time will not long behold.

Spread love and heal the world, 

As, for now Mother Nature will not revert.

        BRIAN HERE ~ Hi Friend welcome to MPS ~ it operates by READING & COMMENTING on each others Poem ! Thanks for your first Poem which is elegant in its form and excellent in its message. The lament of Mother Eartth for Man's deesicration of the Planet by Global Warming. In our (Angela is My Wife & a PHYSIO) Poem today *NATURES RESPONSE TO MANS DESTRUCTION* We have suggested that COVID 19 is mother natures way of fighting back against MANKIND for DESTROYING ~ Planet Earth ~ by Global Warming. Itstarteqd in WUHAN (China) because they were greedy for Meat to feed a gowing population (The global population has increased x 4 in the last 100 Years !) a lack of Hygeine caused the VIRUS to MUTATE so Mother Nature did strike back ! The outcome of LOCKDOWN in china is that atmpospheric CO2 has reduced by 25% and NO2 by 37 % which is as you say *A Blessing in Disguise* ~ AMEN
        Friends of mine have worked in Mumbai with INTERMISSION It must be a very interesting City to live in. We live near London ~ UK. India seems to be coping well with CORVID 19 ~ with so many People. Please post another poem soon ~ Thanks
