Being alive in this pandemic

How far is it correct to say,
The sun's light is just a ray ?
Don't know much about nature,
We are only silly creatures !!
Never thought of ecological nurture,
Always stayed contented, predicting the future.
Major burning issue is the pollution,
There is a great need to find a solution !!
How to search for an aid ??
This is a question that has been debated by world leaders, over a decade !!
Stop doing unfairness !!
Try to spread awareness !!!
Too easy to put !
Too difficult to work out !!
Still , need to focus of sustainability,
Due to lack of availability.
Global warming is another trend !
Even a dumb can't make it a friend !!!!
So many threats are there,
We need to take care.
These causes of ruin need a sharp plummet !!
Otherwise, life will have a horrendous fate !!!!

For the entire year,
I studied hard with a fear.
Till November, everyone was humble,
However, December began with a trouble
Which soon became horrible !!
A day before the new year,
Got a shaking news to hear.
Boards are shifted to May, it declared ,
Something very difficult to be beared !!
Again started from the same day,
Tried to follow a new way.
Covid cases were declining,
Everything was shining !!
Soon offline classes started,
I was prepared to work with open hearted.
2nd preboard commenced,
Made me a bit tensed !!
Everything was alright without any jam,
Until I reached the last exam.
Again got a heart wrenching news ,
For a while, kept me confused !!
It was the month of making fool,
I thought, it's time to stay cool !!
It was a real decision,
Felt like putting in a prison !!
Board exams are cancelled, it said,
It should have been highlighted in red !!
They should have decided for an alter,
I felt like an " OX THAT WAS LED TO SLAUGHTER " !!
Don't know what to say,
Let's hope for another way.

Want to become an IAS officer,
Can't do with much pressure.
Need a smart strategy,
To clear it with full energy.
Have to keep patience,
Which is an essence,
Can't do with ignorance.
Much easy to say,
Can't even imagine, how much it pays!
Require a consistency
In order to gain proficiency.
Surrounding yourself in positivity,
Don't keep yourself in captivity.
Just stay away from negativity.
You don't need any first rate mind,
Sufficient to follow a smart regime.
It's always good to start early,
Helps you to understand clearly.
Rather than following several lines,
Keep your source compact and read one line several times.
These are some easy tantrums to throw,
The one who prepares,knows well,how painful it is to grow!
Well,all I can say is,
Albeit,it is a job of great difficulty,
Nothing is impossible, if you have a driving curiosity.

Never ever give up,
It's time to stand up.
Fight for the right,
To make your future bright.
Even if it keeps you in loneliness,
Remember, a moonlight is enough to make way in darkness.
Even if it seems like a total loss,
Forget the past and try to win the present toss.
Doesn't matter, which position you hold, What truly matters is,where you stand in this world.
One thing that is precious is "OUR KNOWLEDGE ",
Others are useless.
I don't have much to say,
This is enough to make everyone understand, I pray.

It was a lovely autumn day,
I was all set to go out for a play
Suddenly someone knocked the door,
While my mome was doing the household chores.
When I went to see "who is the one",
I was stunned to see "no one".
I waited for a while,
When, my silly brother was counting the floor tiles!
Soon, got to know,
It was the caretaker who had something to show,
What was that?
Kept me flat.
My mom came to tackle,
As there was nothing for me to handle,
It was actually a notification
That wanted us to pay attention.
Tank cleaning work is going on, so no water for next 24 hours, it said
That made us to strike our head.
We all tried to store water in a fast
pace,
Seemed like running a race.
We worked like life and death,
Catching each and every breath.
Eventually, we were all ready to face the crisis
The day ended with some sacrifices.
