What if I never could try
that chocolate pie
I have been trying to hunt down.
What if chocolate stops
coming to the shops
that has all groceries.
What if rice never yields
from that farmer's fields
in his isolated village.
What if the jeans I never wear
fearing the other's fair
stops being sold.
What if the red cloth roll
gets severed from its scroll.
Every last bit of it.
What if cotton never sees Sun
fearing wilt from his run
and decides to never sprout.
What if Italian marble
stops being mined for sample
and cement reigns forever.
What if bricks remain in studies
and homes remain fantasies
in wildest dreams.
What if homes fell off
as no one thought of
and sky becomes the roof.
What if the air we breathe
being an infectious heath
can't be fooled again by
structured and supported lie.
What if lockdowns never end.
What if this is 'the' end.
What if my family is the last
I can hug and kiss atlast.
Will we all meet God
and be reborn as COVID
because Earth now has become
a big breeding ground ?
No!
Because we are human,
and in pathos, we unite as men.
When we men unite,
even God smiles bright.
Yes!
Our hope on our guilty pleasure.
