Strange Days Pondering (Poem)

Days and nights are rough,

Everyone seems distraught.

Major cities on lockdown,

Tourist spots are now like ghost towns.

Disinfectants here and there,

Is there really any cure somewhere?

The money of the rich became useless,

Researches have become endless.

Even those in power have been struck,

The world all at once become stuck.

Indeed a global panic,

Over a killing pandemic.

Aren’t the scenarios familiar?

Have we forgotten the past’s trials?

Or we hadn’t really learned any,

We keep transgressing inspite of Allah’s mercy.

Things to be pondered upon,

To Allah we all belong and shall return.

About Umm Asiyah
I reverted to Islam in 2014. Alhamdulillah. It hasn't been the same since. And I had started to do poetry in relation to my Islamic journey.
