POETRY
LAMP OF SCIENCE
Maan Bardhan Kanth
To see the lamp of science getting lighted, This is our hope and intend.
This scientific flame should not extinguish, This desire is more important than life.
Corona has come with its wrath, Humanity is in huge crisis. Unimaginable tough times have come, Whole of earth is under its wrath.
See how this outrage has come,
That whole world is under a fear.
This scientific flame should not extinguish, This desire is more important than life.
Since this pandemic has become terrible, The calamities have become inevitable. If we truly want to fight against corona, Then let's stay at home.
Technology will find some ways,
This is what the new thought says.
This scientific flame should not extinguish, This desire is more important than life.
When common sense becomes sharp, Darkness is eliminated soon.
If the soul is serene,
Then body becomes pure.
The supernatural sky and earth,
Gives us the support to survive.
This scientific flame should not extinguish, This desire is more important than life.
Our motherland India is beautiful, All the resources here are too holy. Life is priceless here,
Every moment is divine too.
Here every mind would think scientifically, This is our loveable hope.
This scientific flame should not extinguish, This desire is more import than life.

CORONA – A COMBAT
Chavi
Our rival is imperceptible and leaves behind none This battle is tough, but the war shall be won.
It will lure us to come out of our lines,
But the battlefield is our home, and
from here we shall outshine.
Our foe is mighty but I believe we will outrun, Our battle is tough, but the war shall be won.
Soap is our weapon, sanitizer the firearm,
If we just follow the guidelines, the
virus can do us no harm.
It is afraid of soap; we’ll wash and make it run, Our battle is tough, but the war shall be won.
We must protect ourselves from
the cycle of false rumours,
Because it's true what they say, knowledge is power, To be a vigilant citizen, follow the leaders
and fulfill our responsibility,
Protecting the most vulnerable and those on
the front has also become a necessity.
We have to show unity for the disease to be gone, Our battle is tough, but the war shall be won.
Hats off to those heroes who stand on the frontiers, In these trying times when the future
of the nation is still unclear
The opponent knows no discrimination,
so everyone beware.
The fight of caste and religion will
sink all efforts of our warfare.
We need to join forces to combat the rival,
Remember it ain't a mere tussle, it's a fight for survival. Our enemy is so imposing and leaves behind none,
Our battle is tough, but the war shall be won.
