My Pink Moon Prayer 🙏

As the April Pink moon arise

I invite my inner being to rise,
With my hands clasped I pray
In absolute solemnity and say:
Oh, vicious novel coronavirus,
I beseech you to leave us,
If you promise to go away for good
I will salute you with gratitude,
I ‘ll do all that you want me to -
I ‘ll stay home, I promise you,
‘Ll wash my hands frequently
And use hand sanitisers daily,
I ‘ll maintain physical distancing
Of one & half meters gaping;
I will not kiss or be kissed,
I ‘ll not hug or cuddle, only reminisce,
Not even a peck on the cheek
Nor fist bumps or nose rubs seek,
My hands won’t touch my face really,
Mouth, nose and eyes, especially;
I will avoid social gatherings all
If more than two or more people,
Parties, holidays and sports none,
Do it all on social media alone;
I will not go to school or work,
‘Ll do distance learning, or work
From home, if employer permits me,
To ensure communal safety.
I will only go out if absolutely necessary
Such as buying essentials, no accessory,
And for daily physical exercises
And to get some fresh air doses;
I will observe social distancing strictly
In malls and grounds, practice publicly,
I will not shake anyone’s hands anyway
But greet with a bow or a ‘namaste’,
Maybe wave from a safe distance
Or make a video call hence;
I ‘ll cover my mouth with masks
If the health department asks,
And I ‘ll cough or sneeze into it
Or mindfully into my inner elbows fit
Or use tissues and bin it right away
To keep you coronavirus at bay;
I will not touch with my bare hands
On door handles, knobs, slide rails, and
Taps or push buttons in lifts and toilets,
Instead use knuckles, elbows or tissues, I bet;
In this way and in that way, in every way,
I will not give you a chance to stay;
I will eat more vegetables and fruits
And less meat products and junk foods
To stay healthy and fit, and I swear
I will stay positive and without fear
Just like the full moon of tonight
Awashing the night with a brilliant light;
So I, in utmost earnestness ask you to leave soon -
Be gone with this waning moon
And vanish into absolute nothingness
And let us live in our everyday ordinariness.

I pray! May peace prevail on earth!
