A2Z April Challenge F is for Freedom

Breakfast check
Soaping of dishes check
Sweeping and swabbing check
Lunch served to family check
Sat down heavily with long sigh
On a green velvet couch by the rack
To read the messages on watsapp
Four hundred and ninety eight to be exact.
Ran her finger smoothly on the face of a screen
Scanning over images, videos, graphics
Much of the reading done on the phone
Lockdown exhausting
With family stay home
India tested positive for stupidity, She typed
Freedom of woman
Tossed upside down
No time to casually chat with close friends
Days become nights in one printed dress
Dressing up for house chores is no fun
Movies on TV channels are all re-runs.
China needed this drama
So they created Covid19
Precious lives
Lost to the disease each day
No freedom to step out of cozy home
For shopping
Cinema
Beauty parlour
Spa
No freedom to stroll for morning walk
New crisis emerges everyday
When will this end?
Will it ever end?
Will the freedom of expression
Ever begin?

F is for 'Freedom'
