Corona- what a great guy you are!- 2020
20 March 2020
You are the greatest social reformer to-date on the planet earth,
Who else had done more reformation on Mother Earth?
You don’t care or even enquire,
what anyone’s caste, creed, language, religion,
nationality, race or sex.
You don’t suffer from any parochialism,
You need only a touch and any one becomes one of your own.
What a great guy you are!
You don’t insist on aadhar or social security or port of entry,
Any port is port of entry for you,
What a great guy you are!
Is there anybody in the world who has united
the world the way you have united,
You have made all the states United States,
Even which you did not spare.
What a great guy you are!
You are the personification of
Impartiality towards man-kind entire
What a great guy you are!
One can smoothen differences by any fear,
But you adopted the most effective fear,
The universal fear of death and life,
The highest instinct of all living systems.
What a great guy you are!
You are a tiny speck but your might
To enslave the world at large is pretty tight
If people do not obey your command
You put them in their place and in remand.
You do not spare even doctors who
Attempt to tackle you and jump from
Their patients to themselves!
What a great guy you are!
Many have tried to force family planning,
Through measures that are punishing,
Only to lose votes and power.
But you came out with a different way
‘Touch me not or else’ way,
Knowing there is no way one can produce a child this way!
Keep a minimum distance of one meter,
Is your mantra for family measure
What a great guy you are!
Are you the plant ‘touch me not’
I know you are not since
You make every one say ‘touch me not’!
What a great guy you are!
In olden days menstruating ladies were kept one meter away,
We used to wonder why?
But when you do the same thing for all,
We understand why!
What a great guy you are!
I must thank you from heart
For making the world at large
realize that Indian customs and traditions
Are the safest and the best.
‘Stand one meter away and say namaste
And don’t shake hands or embrace,’
‘when you enter your house from outside trip,
Wash your hands and feet fully, not just a drip’
Are age-old Indian customs
That you enforced on the world.
What a great guy you are!
What a consultant you are,
For reducing expenses of family!
You cut down travel to near zero,
You closed down all malls so people can’t buy,
Things they don’t need,
You made them meet needs and shun wants,
The philosophy human race is yet to learn
What a great guy you are!
Political parties in India protest
By locking the state down thru strikes.
Forcing people by intimidation and threat,
And claim they are part of democracy and
The path shown by the Mahatma
But you have locked down the whole world
Spontaneously and totally,
Can you share your secret with
Our political parties in India,
What a great guy you are!
And what a great political reformer you are!
You have brought down the greatest autocrats
The world over to their knees,
Made them aware that there are things
Not under their control after all!
You care a damn for Xi ping or Trump,
And made Trump test for your presence,
With all his powers he could not say no.
Xing realized there are things
In his own country to be set right
Before he annexes territory after territory as his own,
Saying once upon a time it was Chinese!
What a great guy you are!
You spared no country
But you were lenient on some and harsh on others,
What was the deciding parameter?
Did you punish those manipulative ones that tell lies and mislead their own people,
And not those that were serving the people of their own countries?
Did you think the UN is largely ineffective in this respect?
What a great guy you are!
For all those not discharging their role effectively
You became a handy excuse
Businessman failing, politicians failing, simply people being lazy
All quote you as the reason for their failure,
But despite this, you don’t defend yourself,
And remain unaffected and impartial to one and all.
What a great guy you are!
You are just 27 to 34 kilobases in size,
But the effects you produce on the humans and the world at large,
Are huge indeed!
Are you vamana avatar by any chance
Or you took Viswarupa like Krishna did
to send a message to the wicked
how big he is!
What a great guy you are!
You are omnipresent, omnipotent,
So you think you are above God
you locked down temples, churches and mosques
Do you want to show you are more powerful than God?
No, no, God does not reside in temples, churches
and mosques but in people‘s hearts
Here you are helpless totally,
As you affect only their lungs and not hearts!
In spite of your greatness
You are second only to God.
This gives us a clue to tackle you,
Pray God apart from taking all
Preventive measures to evade you,
You are then helpless, totally.
Nevertheless, what a great guy you are!
