Jinxed!

Flooded with memories bittersweet,

Of Lotus shaped feet,

Imprinted on seashells and sandy beach, 

Crimsoned like skinned peach,

Yearning for yesteryear,

Oh! A jinxed long year!

An unforeseen global lockdown, 

White, Black and Brown,

Clamped down each with fear, 

Spared some who were dear,

Yearning for yesteryear,

Oh! A jinxed long year!

Unprecedented global recessions,

And numerous unresolved questions, 

Impoverished suffered disgrace,

Numerous faced coup de grace,

Yearning for yesteryear,

Oh! A jinxed long year! 

Heedless of deeds and creed, 

Ceaseless chaos caused by greed, 

Ire filled Mother Earth,

Set afire place of birth,

Yearning for yesteryear,

Oh! A jinxed long year!

All and sundry decreed at last, 

Help spurn not-so-novel Coronavirus of past, 

Pouring accolades on essential workers at the frontline, 

Resilient at life’s and death’s borderline,

Yearning for yesteryear,

Oh! A jinxed long year!
