Economic Disparity Created During the Corona Phase

Economic Disparity created during the Corona Phase 


Death equalizes all at the end 
But sufferings are hugely different.
There cannot be any comparison 
Between the daily wage earners like
Vegetable vendors, itinerant traders
And the white collar employees; 
While millions have lost their jobs and vocation 
Some are fed and nourished at home
Jobs at the organized sector stands secured 
Their presence or absence in the office is the same.
Slack in performing duties they seek
Excuses on situational abnormalities                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
They look the other way
When millions lose their lives and livelihood 
Get poverty stricken without help in time.
Corona situations make the poor poorer.
Rendering them further poor by doling them pittance
Leaders secure better positions in the next election process
Corona becomes the Crown on their heads. 
Crowned they appear the greatest saviors
Police becomes the most active coordinators.
Digitally run are the big business houses, corona blessed
Common traders, artisans lose their bread in corona market.
Most are suffering economically including the Governments 
Some are going up fabulously, going to reach or reached 
The richest global spot monetarily;
573 billionaires added during the two years
Fishing in troubled age of coronavirus 
As it will push 263 million more into poverty in this year.         
Biggest five energy companies favored by authorities
Became the largest profiteer earning $2600 per second 
Their sharing must be the biggest as selected.
