Buddha says that all composite things
Are perishable and we should strive
For our own liberation with diligence
In these days of COVID-19
Where nations at large are suffering, and scientists are taking long to find a vaccine,
People are loosing dear ones
And the echoes of their cries are clearly heard in distant shores
Every sunset knows a sunrise
And every end of the tunnel knows light.
Maybe humanity will see light
After wilting and withering in terrains
Hot and dry without a ray of hope
Amidst this marathon task of survival,
Humanity’s inner self, re-engineered
Revolutionized, realized the meaning of existence,
An existence where all men are brothers
And man is higher than what he thinks.
Our perceived differences evaporated,
And we came to the unarguable conclusion
That humanity is one.
We stood like a stunned rabbit
Stuck in front of COVID-19’s light,
Light that liberated us from darkness,
Changing the course of a whole lifetime.
Replenished with an inexpressible
Joy and satisfaction, together we realized
That love, understanding and compassion
Are the requisites of a good life
That will help us find our liberation with diligence
by Pramila Khadun

We stood like a stunned rabbit
Stuck in front of COVID-19’s light,
Light that liberated us from darkness,…Indeed we are stunned beyond our limited understanding of how things can take a sudden turn, shocking humanity to accept that we are puny human beings in the hands of Fate!
Thanks dear Pushmaotee for this comment which is so profound.Love it dear.
