Governments all over the world
are lifting lock down gradually
aspiring to come back to normalcy
perhaps the creative people also
poets, artists et al. should quit
obsessing the virus...
Perhaps all of us should
quit posting colourful, magnificent pictures
of the enemy, instead start disregarding him/her
stop interpreting the neutral/ unconnected posts
everything, in the context of the virus
Perhaps, it is time to move on
perhaps this will serve as the first step
towards herd immunity....
We have to move on, no doubt. But caution is also required.
ReplyDeleteYes, a judicious mix is the need of the hour between caution and courage. However, this post is not about what Government should do but more about how poets and other creative people approach it moving forward- write about other things & dwell less on this.
