O GOD! HOW LONG WILL YOU SEE?

O GOD! HOW LONG WILL YOU SEE?

O God! How long will You see silently and say nothing:
When the cruel Corona Virus, like the savage jungle Kings,
Keeps prowling and pouncing on the helpless human beings,
To mince, munch and devour them with its invisible and fatal sting?

O God! How long will You see quietly and callously, and neither relent nor feel concerned:
When the carnivorous Corona Virus, like the worst heinous and impious Ruler of the hell's,
Keeps ringing least audibly the hapless human beings' imminent death bells,
And, drags them, as the voracious vultures do, either to be entombed, or to be burned?

O God! I am sanguine, You will neither wish nor relish men being killed any longer,
Or else, You know it so well, not a Soul shall stay to sing, "None but God is stronger!"
