TEAR AND CORONA- ASHOK THAPA (a poem)

 Oh, Tear!

You need to downpour heavily as summer rain

You need to be spilled over as Cherapunji throughout the Universe

You have to act as a whirlpool

Or wander in every nooks and corner where people get populated.

Being pure as the water of the Sunkoshi

And

Being profitable as the water of the Karnali -

Throughout the land where human beings exist.

Oh holly Tear!

You must get twisted violently as the Bhagiratha Ganga drowned

Or

As the Gangotri burst into tears

Where People who wept should be proud

In crying as it is the most glorious gain

To rescue people safely out from the volcano of

Deadly Corona

Oh Tear - my holy nectar

You have to downpour as torrential rain in areas where people breathe.
