Tired and Exhausted — This Is What It Feels like Right Now In India

Overwhelmed, yet hopeful and helpful

India faltering under the harsh pressure the people are tired, frustrated, and in anger Struggling to get the basic supplies Shortage of medicine, oxygen, and hospital beds

Doctors overwhelmed, witnessing mass deaths Crematoriums exceeding capacity Demand and supply economics gearing full power

What will a poor man do Surrendered to fate Wallowing in the shadows My heart cries with them

A fortnight back, I came to know the deteriorating health of my close friend With 90% lung involvement The body needs immediate external oxygen

Gasping for each breath We realize how precious it is With hospitals working more than the total capacity Doctors exhausted by their shifts what can we expect in these desperate times a life saved is no less than a miracle

We admitted him to the makeshift bed in the emergency The harrowing hours at the hooks of tentacles Till we got an ICU bed

Normally we switch into panic mode When someone goes to ICU But in these strange times, It relieved us when we got one

For the past week, he is still in ICU Slow on his recovery route Even a slight improvement is celebrated A gleam of hope is enough to be happy

He is holding his fortitude while many have lost theirs I pray, I pray, and I pray for everyone With a heavy heart, I pray for everyone

Witnessing the harrowing havoc Missing my dull days with laziness My routine upset, meal times and sleep disrupted

Doing my bit to help the others Watching people stand together We all are holding our fortitude in these unprecedented times where humans are going through an unspeakable crisis.
