The author is a Delhi-based business leader and poet
Let’s cut the mournful numbers out
Enmity and Jealousy both see Virtue as a thorn
Hold the hand of Silence
Wear your mask, keep your distance, be Sensible
All was ablaze, bizarre the scenes
Is it wiser to remain the fool that you are
Things, O Things, all cluttered around
What is Time, I often wonder
People, like those who like true Democracy
Do not pluck flowers from my garden
