Lock down

Daddy, I put my school near your office
Held an Ipad my little one, I failed to notice
Adjust with him, and to work pay justice
Virtual the world, suddenly I feel -"a novice

Boasting on; shall never succumb to despair
The reality: fear even to go down the stair
Life in here, altered much beyond repair
Insecurity crept in, the feel is in the air

Advises, instructions plenty, wish I elope
Where to?, just stay home- with lots of hope
Frantic search is on, for sure- the cure to pop
Else, Corona rule, spare not even the pope

Changed our living sense, this silly virus

Stay alive the motto, rest all just a bonus

Strike back, in human intelligence- the onus

And restart with all its flair, the human circus 

Sree....

Survive - The Lucky

Busy highway traffic, car into it I squeeze
Stop at checkpoint, control not the sneeze
Move, said the cop, corona in the breeze
Deliberate, show not, limbs were to freeze

Way back from work to home,a long drive
Temporary feat with car, adrenaline I thrive
Parked car, walk, in thoughts corona alive
A truck, life in me it was about to deprive

Felt like an amateur fight the undertaker
Unaware, risk my life and look like a joker
Gave up, he missed me by just a whisker
The almighty put all the luck in my locker

A truck then, now a tiny virus to pull down
Serious contender,made this world its own
Live sensible, worry not on the unknown
Survive, the lucky a fact very well known

Sree....

Corona The Goon

Can this corona fight a lion? asked my little son
Corona is small, I said, now having all the fun
Small? then why worry? his query, in me it spun
Small ones are more danger, intended no pun

Waking up, first act check the global death toll
New syndrome, faster than the nature’s call
Infected numbers, criteria for nations' status poll”
Corona, “you beast”- made the humans stroll

Poke into human’s life, prick the arrogance balloon
Hurt humans pride, the bloat to come off soon
With it fall human ego, which rose beyond the moon
This time, the act is by Corona”- the virus goon

Mini creature take on the powerful, world it shook
Spread across the entire planet, no time it took
Is it end of an era?, predicted by the holy books
Beware humans, it is more serious than it looks

Sree

Unfinished Work

Alone in office, working late, felt nothing wrong
Suddenly, heard a beautiful voice singing a song
Found her, asked, “ what makes you stay long? "
Unfinished work, said her,“ wait to take you along"

A minute flashed in my mind, thoughts awesome
But said, "let’s meet later, now got to go home"
No son, your life’s done, now with me you come
"I am death", said her, the voice now worrisome

How can it take me ? Unfinished  jobs a plenty
"Finish it", said her, " you have minutes seventy"
Cannot finish, even if you give me years twenty
Makes no difference, you have to leave empty

Too soon but reality, now wait for me the ultimate
Need more time, need to spend with my mate
Strived hard to finish all work, all my time it ate
Unfinished the work remain, realized it very late 

Sree....

Communist I was!

My friends were religious
I was trained to be athiest
never believed in rituals
because communist I was!

Beef and pork my favorite
liquor I could not avoid
could not follow my friends
because communist I was!

Hartal the way to protest
just mind the causes
never mind the losses
because communist I was!

Know not, what it stood for,
Never sought its agenda,
Never understood the strategy
because communist I was!

Sree....

Language

Bless you”, I said hearing her sneeze

Beautiful smile, she with me in ease

Pretty her lips, it said “sorry I no ingliz

” Google translate, “I now speak turkiz”

Languages plenty in the human world

The way conveyed the meaning It holds 

Body ‘s language says than what is told 

Silence good tactic language to behold

Unite or divide, play a part the language 

Common ensure we on the same page 

Carved out countries, from the old age 

Now technology put all out of the cage 

Learn not anymore, a language foreign

Done by software, smartphones reign

No more a barrier, not a weakness sign

Need no software, when hearts align

Sree....

Education

Real world a wonder, when I ponder
Educate me, love flying off yonder
Virtual the world I used to wander
You are right my dad, I now surrender

Spent with gadgets, waste those years
Playstation and Xbox were my dears
You got those for me, forced my tears
the only aim was to better my peers

None could beat the points I garnered
Felt like a queen, felt I was empowered
But, virtual was that world I wandered
You were right dad, I now surrendered

Time wasted gone now, wish it reverse
Vast, unknown this world, this universe
Explore unknown, self I shall immerse
Embrace studies, the gadgets I disperse

Want to be great, make others wonder
No limits I know, knowledge can render
In the world virtual, I shall not wander
You are right daddy, I now surrender

Sree....
