Here are Ram Krishna’s ten short poems about the pandemic exclusively for Different Truths.
#1. Emoji Life has sent me An emoji Unable to read its mood #2. Fact An invisible enemy Makes a fact so visible Handle your nature, and Nature With care! #3. Web Everything virtual And digital Web now caught in life Or vice versa? #4. Story Numbers, counts, rates Can stats unmask stories? Of fast-forwarded misery Of torment and tragedy? #5. Healing Amid tears, cries, And colossal wreck Time says wryly, You will be healed Over time #6. Horoscope I-you, us-they, all Sailing in the same boat Humanity has A common horoscope #7. Play Time forcing us To play with A ball with spikes But no referee's in sight. #8. Words Amid Bizarre Words, all medical Where is the lexicon To heal Trauma, scars? #9. Name Names are just Cases Did one say, What is in a name? #10. Time Tears flow Eyes stare into the void We are walking into The hands of time Hoping for Hand of God!
