Poem
A Nation Grieves
The mighty tree grieves
For its fallen leaves
Tossed away fresh greens
And the branch still weeps
A deadly wind blows
Who’s next, no one knows
While brave hearts struggle
Everyone’s hassled
Greeting with sad eyes
Masks instead of smiles
Gasping for some air
Only a few care
Keep distance, take care
Don’t breathe the foul air
Let’s do online meets
Until the air heals
All the nations grieve
And families weep
Let’s say a prayer
To end this nightmare
