Lockdown pains and dreams


One month and I am done
I want my freedom and some fun
The deadly virus and deadlier lockdown
I simply can’t face it down
O God give me the strength
To keep everyone at an arm’s length
Social distancing is tough
Sure enough, enough is enough
I want to go and hug my friends
Go for films and some other odds and ends
Kiss a lost puppy
And drag along hubby
Catch up on some healthy snacks
Golgappas, tikkis, and chaats
I dream of a meal in a fancy restaurant
Spared of the pain of the migrant
I yearn for freedom from this confinement
For freedom Sen said is development
