The Beauty of a Virus

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
   And its perception is highly subjective
It can become a burden as heavy as a boulder
   If the subject is not strong enough to fit the adjective

But what if the beholder is Mother Nature?
   And she uses the smallest creature
To assert her safety and her future
   Leaving her children with a bit of a wound and suture..

Nature practices Christian Inquisition, to those who bite the hand that feeds them food
   It practices Buddhist middle path, striving to maintain her balance and re-construct
It practices Muslim Jihad, using the good in the evil to kill the evil in the good
   And it practices Hindu Dharma, sowing justice to those who have no qualms to destruct

Mother Nature had wailed in torture, drenching you in flood
   She had raged in her fury, engulfing your neighbourhood in fire
She now demands your attention by drawing your blood
   Now that her own health is extremely dire.

Virus is probably the only organism humans do not know how to kill
   And Mother Nature is using her little ones to enforce her will
It has put the humans in their concrete boxes, make them squirm around their girth
   To react and reflect on the damage they have done in their short span on earth!

Lesser bikes & cars on the roads naturally reduces pollution
   Lesser visits to restaurants means lesser food wastage, what an easy solution!
Forcing more time at home with precious ones, to rekindle love and respect
   That people need in abundance to restore what their Mother has lost, in retrospect.

Oh! Mother Nature's beautiful child that has no colour
   The cell-less creature with extraordinary valour
I hope you remain invincible through our lifetime
   To teach these reckless humans some manners, time-to-time!
