There was a time when this busy man
had a smiling face
Not rich, but was able to make
his both ends meet.
Today he cries
for he is depressed
He is stranded, separated
No work, no money, no food ....
It's lockdown ....
Memories of his family - his wife, children,
miles and miles away
linger in his mind
He spends sleepless nights ....
Finally, he sets for home
The place where he wanted to be
Though now in quarantine
struggling for survival
He hopes to win the battle
Longing to see the new rising sun.
