CORONA

One- four morrows, soon the earth will be courted,
Like worm and body,
The wedding will be grazed with dust.

There’s sunshine in this darkness,
Lack of mirth,
And presence of thirst.


Taps sings with glee, fingers crumbled flee,
Full many a morning, teeth gnashes and eyes itch,
Lips twitch, legs missed knuckles clenched.

Mortality is fatal, eons flash to weeks, days, morrows,
The fight is done, hats thrown, a final bow,
Crimson eyes flow, “please don’t let your sadness show”.

Human the virus’s farthings,
Droplets its Mercedes,
The universe it messes.

For others it’s an experience filled with many difficulties—personal, interpersonal, academic, operational and formal difficulties. Still for some, time in the lab is a burning hell. Irrespective of what it could be, laboratory experience is never just an effortless pass time you cruise through without some friction, so much so that students think of their time in the lab as something to strive through at best, and at worst, something to survive.    H...
