Chronicle Of A Corona Warrior

Address to Corona Where’ve I accepted defeat? Where’ve I defended the scare? Ever been following bravely My life-passage struggles calmly. I question your arrival to me Your return shamefacedly is also ensured. Dare to ask me my resolute resolve...? Unaware you yourself How do you enter this way? But I overpowered you too. I will decimate darkness By turning myself into steady flames to sow the seeds of hope. Never have I slept in slumber How could I now? Look! In this utter darkness I’ve ignited the lamp of life. Look! At your unsolicited pitiable arrival I’ve conquered even you! —Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ AIIMS Delhi 7 AM 6 May 2021
