I feel uncomfortable

Illiterate!
Wait a minute!
Are you listening?
Please bring coriander from the shop…
Yes sister you tell
What are you saying sister?
What will happen if you don't eat coriander for a few days in the lockdown?
You yourself are breaking the rules.
Don't you understand the situation or you don't want to understand it?
Oh my god, I burnt my curry. I will call you later.
She talks too much.
But she was right.
Are you listening? For some days, food without coriander, No choice!

Yes, brother.
This lockdown has raised many questions in our mind.
Such as
Do we need blind faith in religions or do we need realism?
Do we need weapons of mass destruction or medical care of the masses?
Do we need piece of land or peace of mind?
Do we need pollution free air to breathe or ventilators to breathe?
Do we need to chase money and power or can we collaborate and share?
Do we need valuables or values?
Do we need hatred or compassion?
Do we need forced lockdown or voluntary lockdown?
Do we need more hotels for tourism or secure homes for people?
Do we need a young society or young but a sick society?
Do we need destruction of humanity or reconstruction of humanity?
Do we need more monuments or can we value our mountains as temples?
Should we kill animals to eat or should we respect their rights to live?
Do we need successful businessmen or be sensible men?
Do we need to compete with each other or Do we need to be brothers and sisters?
Do we need precautions or pandemics?
Do we need education without common sense?
Do we need clean water or chemical based drinks?
Do we torture cows to milk or do we respect the rights of calves?
Do we destroy nature or nurture nature?
Do we need suffering patients or brilliant doctors?
Do more machines in life or more meaning in life?
Do we need instructions to live or infrastructure to coexist with nature?
Do we need to lock ourselves in homes to survive or unlock other creatures to live?
Do we need fast food or fasting for health?
Do we focus on self-hygiene or be concerned for other's hygiene too?
All these questions have made us realise the mistakes we've committed
At the same time, it also raised some hopes
but, what's the solution to all these questions raised?
We see a solution
Yeah! Lockdown!
Why don't we give a few days every year to the nature?
What if we have a lockdown for a few days every year?
No! not due to fear of some virus or death
Neither due to fear of some punishment
but voluntarily
With our dear ones and for our dear ones
to make our dear ones happy
Let the sky restore its own color
Let the birds chirp and thrive
We request you all
Nurture! Nature!
