RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Modi (PM Narendra Modi of India)
“He has lit funeral pyres in every house”
As they rush to bury the dead
“The monster swallows our people”
An overwhelmed official said
Modi declared victory many months ago
Celebrations ran across the nation
The deadly virus was defeated
Vaccines were the great salvation
Now the hospitals are overwhelmed
The crematoriums and cemeteries
The people suffer from exhaustion
Bitter with outrage and wary
They pretended all was well
Under their strong and boastful leader
But their collective overconfidence
Became a coronavirus breeder
Now they sound the toll of death
Every morning until night
What was once a victory dance
Has become an endless fight
