Battering the lives of many,
The unwanted virus has finally established itself.
The virus is smart, unwavering, determined.
Already ruined the lives of many,
The virus considers itself to be supreme.
It is roaring with rage and pride. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what differs humans from virus,
Is the presence of a heart
A heart that knows better than to go out
A heart that knows to be strong in the face of adversity
Because that is the same heart, which feels the depth of the loss of a loved one
Because that is the same heart that feels lost in this pandemic, which feels like a third world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are surrounded by echoes of cries,
Cries for help, cries for air, cries for their dears
They say consider yourself to be god\u2019s favourite,
If you can breathe on your own.
While I couldn\u2019t be more grateful for this air, I breathe on my own
Yet I feel suffocated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel suffocated seeing life-saving drugs being sold in black
Because even when a virus has completely taken over our lives,
people can never stop thinking about their \u2018profit\u2019.
To all of those who are minting money by these unscrupulous methods,
while another person goes homeless just to save his loved one,
Congratulations! Because you couldn\u2019t stoop more in your life.
If you want to think about profit even in this global pandemonium,
Take a deep breathe and look at your family
Because that is your profit.
At the end of the day, if you are able to breathe with your family,
You couldn\u2019t ask for a bigger profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This virus has left us all in the sea of uncertainty,
Without the shore in sight.
Yet we have to keep sailing,
Sailing while keeping the faith,
Sailing while counting our blessings,
Sailing while being grateful,
Sailing while being strong,
Sailing while making the most of each day,
And finally,
Sailing until we reach the shore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
