Wish and pray to usher in a new year of hope, Courage, strength and grace odds to cope, A trust that worst of past year will not repeat, The surge and urge of omicron virus to defeat.
Deaths and sufferings will soon be over, Sick with mild infections will soon recover, Hospitalizations, ventilators, oxygen will not need, No mass migrations ,provisions for poor to feed. Vaccination doses now avaisble with ease, Booster on demand as and when you please, Children below 18 years will be covered soon, A blessing ,a gift to youngster, a boon. Schools and colleges are likely to start, Games, activities exams too will form a part, Buses, trains ,planes , will soon ply ,run Eating out ,watching cinema, dramas, sports will be fun. Celebrations parties functions will open, No permissions, pass or coupon , Embrace ,shake hands and kiss, Visits to friends, religious services not to miss No shortages and facilities for loved ones to burry , No more in secrecy, lonely and in a hurry,. Hospitals, nurses, doctors avaiable to serve To poor, sick suffering and those in need and deserve. Fuel prices will come down, be cheap Affordable food ,fish vegetables ,no need to weep The surging costs of drugs will be less, At hospitals, markets, bus stands shopping malls, no more mess. Omicron though highly infectious need not fear , Symptoms, signs are illusive ,not sharp and clear, Isolation is a must to keep infections at bay, Partial lockdowns will be imposed in some way. Activities interactions will be near normal Restrictions of masks, social distance just formal, Pharma companies will instill infections fear To promote Boosters their motives clear Govt will increase taxes to offer it free, To reduce burden on health services infrastructure agree, The annormal atmosphere of last two years will disappear , The promise of life as before will soon appear. Virologist will wipe out the curse for sure, Like all diseases discover novel cure, New effective pills are on their way Pharmas are in race to develop nasal spray Overburden Doctors ,nurses will now relax, Govt will be forced to reduce revenue and tax People will move about in their life with freedom and ease Engage in their activities and behaviour as they please.
