Education in Lockdown

Trains' engines' booming whistling blow,

Aeroplanes deafening whopping flow

Or

Buses ,cars wheels of each and every vehicle were halted.

Ah! Who could have dreamt

Who could have foretold

That our lovely world is going to lose its glow.

 Since Covid-19 is here to each and everyone scare

Shops were shut

Malls were closed

Almost in all sectors shutters of offices were pulled down for uncertainty.

Temples,Gurdwaras ,churches and mosques all were locked.

But one temple refused

But one temple denied to call it off.

And ventured to mould to keep its gates open and bold.

Believe me ,only it has power to transform pebbles into gold.

I hope you have guessed

Because since childhood we all have been told

That Temple of Education is the best.

Kudoos to warriors

Salute to warriors

Doctors, health workers, police force and sanitation team.

But,but wait aren't we forgetting

The creators,the builders, the moulders,the sculptors the true cheer leaders of these selfless warriors.

Work from home

Has for them two notions

Work at home

As well as

Work from home.

Always running a race to give their best.

Clearing with flying colours time's ruthless test.

But Alas! The unsung heroes had to bear daggers and banters of flickering tongues.

Only for children ,only for students 

There was all hue and cry,

" Kids are loosing appetite.

Kids are becoming dull and morose

Kids have watery running eyes.

Why to pay fee?

When my kids are in room at our home."

It's time to introspect and as parents to ourselves check and correct.

For half an hour's class of your ward

A teacher spends hours.

Their backs break

Eyes strain

Have at times continuous headache.

But do they complain?

But do they stop?

Answers l believe all of us know.

Teachers still don't hesitate to dive deep into the world of creativity

To make every lecture colourful and interesting.

All pain is gone

All miseries vanish

When chatbox shows 'Thank you' from the students unknown.

Who meet and greet on a virtual platform.

Just for a 'Thank you ' teachers are ready round the clock.

Don't be so unwise

Don't close your eyes

Screen time of your children was already high.

What's app, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

Pub G and countless other virtual games

Were chopping their brains

Like termite slowly consuming and devouring their senses.

Teachers acted as their fences ,as their shields to keep them sound and busy to push them to run horses of their mind.

For solving, tracing and finding answers of their text and to keep worthless apps at rest.

Don't you deem it right

That we all have to together fight.

Let's pray fire stays lighted in every hearth

And everyone has stuff  filled for three meals in their pots.

Let's be on time

It's not a question of punishment or fine.

Let's pay our bills,

Let's clear our dues.

Let's earn together,

Let's spend together.

I give you take,

You give l take.

This terrible time would also pass

Economy of our country will for sure bloom.

Till then let's be eachother's support and save humanity from loosing hope....
