A Great Equalizer?: An Ode on CoVid19

CoVid 19 has so touched the whole world. It’s intrusion has put our lives on hold.

So swiftly it travelled the earth’s land and sea and covered the world’s vast geography.

It knows no geographical boundary, be it the busy urban or the quiet country.

This global pandemic is not a respecter of person. It does not distinguish any racial or ethnic association.

It had stricken the prince living in the fortified palace but also the pauper in his crumbling shack.

It has harmed the skilled doctor and health practitioner as well as the unskilled laborer.

The invisible enemy has visited and frightened the powerful politician and the same it did to the helpless homeless man.

It said ”hello” to the rich and famous, to the poor and even the unscrupulous.

The enemy wreaked havoc on the economy-the big money affairs of rich and the small pay check of the irregular employee.

The corona virus had put the world to a screeching halt, leaving them dismayed and shocked -wondering when normal life will be back.

One thing the corona virus is telling us: It doesn’t matter who we are, rich or poor, prominent or unknown, male or female, young or old, the prince and the pauper.

A great equalizer, that’s what corona virus proved to be. Rich or poor, young or old. It doesn’t really care who are we.

The war on CoVid19 calls for unity. Everyone’s cooperation is of necessity. For a great many of us, to stay home is our duty!

Yet, on this war, we have the frontliners, the doctors and nurses and the first responders. They risk their very lives to face the enemy. Won’t we intervene with our fervent prayers of intercessory.

As leaders and experts map out the strategy, the populace must respond in solidarity. Practice what they say- it’s for our own safety.

So in unison, humanity is working to destroy the stronghold. It’s plain and simple: DO as you are told.

We are wise.

We are resilient.

We are strong.

We are united, we are together and in this fight we belong.

We will win.

We will conquer the enemy.

And in the end of it all we will gain the victory!!!

For greater is He who is in me, than he who is in the world!
