The Second Coming!

The world is waiting for its second coming

Nothing has remained the same anymore

Wondering what each one of us is becoming

I saw a tornado rising from the east corner

Moving west with a swirling motion

On its way, it hit the life of every foreigner

The planet earth is buzzing with fear

Since it is carrying the pain from the stories

That every soul is frightened to hear

Stories of losing the dear ones

Has completed the cycle of global suffering

By drifting us apart from our near ones

It harmed not only to health

But also challenged the global economy

By targeting all its wealth

It has weakened the system of education

By shutting down all the schools

And sending the man-power to isolation

Loss of job and loss of friends

Staying home with the house chores

Has set the new social trends

It slowed down the fast-paced life

And put an end to the social-gathering

By staying close to our children and wife

The world is still waiting for its second coming

Longing to be at a piece of land

Where only the nightingales are humming
