Favorite Quote:
Assumptions are the death of truth...


An astounding compensation,

As COVID affliction,

Is now in its second edition.

 

We are not going in the cosmos outdoors,

Locked in the house with colossus family roars;

Doing dolefully cleaning chores.

 

Devouring quotidian delicacies in a blasé,

Luscious meals are a fantasy daze,

Wedding treats strayed in lockout haze.

 

Nuptials solemnized in a solitary glitz,

Costs slashed and multitudes split.

Missing gaggles and congested hits

 

Well-padded, upholstered and corpulent,

With pounds of flumps and refreshment.

Bloated sausages missing lively restaurant.

 

Ascertaining people in the era of mask,

Is searching needles in the cataclysmic dusk.

Well, mask is the new face husk.

 

We are all disguised in surgical veils,

Camouflaged in core are many wails,

Smoldering emotions in funeral blaze.

 

Cavorting outdoors was the vintage childhood,

It is as if our juvenescence is adulthood.

Staying home is primitive human crude.

 

There is dormancy outdoors,

But the time augments and roars.

We’re exempted from the school chores.

 

Life's no all beer and skittles,

It's full of diversions and hurdles.

And all those golden relaxing dreams were just glitters.

 

Life is a naughty child,

Sometimes innocent and mild,

Sometimes notorious and wild,

Well that’s the new normal life.
