Death

A poem on the plight of migrant workers, poor and oppressed going through this pandemic. We should be empathetic towards them and support them in whatever ways we can.

Hello Death,
What did you do
What did you take from us
What do you want

Do you believe you can pluck us
Erase us from our own stories
Make us devoid of any human attachments
Make us vanish at once

You are not the only one
World is itself a dangerous place
Humans already do this to their own
And are better at this than
You, the Almighty Death

Do you believe you are,
taking us away from our happy lives
To live is the greatest fear for some of us,
And death the ultimate solution.
