This Too Shall Pass

This too shall pass

Trust me, this too shall pass

Just be patient,

Just be disciplined,

And just be alert

Don't ignore it

I know, it's a small being

But the death toll in the world you see

The massive Great Wall couldn't stop it

The mighty Colosseum couldn't contain it

Nor could Tehran restrict it

It sees no riches

Nor does it see any religion, caste, colour or creed

The nature has interfered with our greed

And now we need to unite

And protect ourselves

Because if you protect yourselves,

You indeed protect your loved ones;

And tell them to protect themselves

This is a battle for the humankind

We will survive this calamity

All we need to do us get rid of our enmity

And develop a sense of belongingness

And of true social awareness

Then will rise one fine day

When our medics will rest

Our hospitals will be empty

And all humans safe in their nest

And we will roam the streets without masks

And hold our friends' hands

And throw large parties

Just now we need to be cautious of our tasks

Remember, this too shall pass

This tempest shall fade away

This night shall give way to the dawn

And rays of light will appear on the earthly lawn.
