The poem Corona says is written by Vishnu S Rai. He was educated in India, Nepal, and the UK. He taught English at Tribhuvan University for three decades and retired as a professor of English. Rait writes many English and Nepali stories and are Martyres and other stories. This poem is written by presenting the causes and impact of the present situation of the world. The title of the poem “Corona says” itself represents what a corona wants to say to us.
In this poem, Corona says I didn’t come here but I was invited. I come here by your (human) activities which bring imbalance in nature. Here, humans think that they are superior but to this thought of humans, they destroyed the environment for their benefit. These activities of humans take the lives of thousands of living being such as birds, reptiles, and other. The selfless behavior of humans invites me. Many lives of humans are lost and it is the impact of their activities. In the modern world, Sky appears black, not blue. It is due to ay industries and factories which were established for personal benefit.
At present, I make people realize how the environment is fresh if it shouldn’t use the personal benefit. Due to me, the sky appears blue and also mother earth gets to rest. If you don’t stop your bad activities then more powerful than me will come one day. I sure, I will depart but don’t forget stronger than me which will come and send you to back in cave time.
So, care for the environment and other living beings help to balance nature. This behavior helps you to be healthy and happy. If you use the environment for the personal benefit then you will be wealthy but sad with bad health. You lose your wealth slowly and face many problems because of small mistakes and that is misusing nature.
