Virus, an avatar of Vishnu?

This virus for me is
An avatar of Vishnu
It has come upon the stage
To teach us a lesson;
With a gentle jerk
He pulled the brake
Of the money-making mind
Driving, causing hazards, going berserk,
The mechanical car that polluted for ages,
Abused every being on earth.
Nature is saying times for a while,
It is at peace, experiencing bliss.

I heard a voice within me
Criticizing, cursing me bitterly
For this insanity.
'How horrid is this that you call
The deadly virus Vishnu?
Thousands dying in the pandemic,
And you? Writing your senseless lines, without a clue
Calling this a teaching?
As both start with the letter 'V'
You find a link? A disgusting similarity?
You call this virus an avatar of Vishnu
You must be a horribly possessed Hindu!
You should hide in shame
For playing such a thoughtless poetic game!'

I say this with a hand on my heart
If only I could also die in His craft,
The innocent lives are sacrificed
For nothing! You need eighteen months
To come up with a vaccine?
How weak is the Intelligence?
Why can't it be cracked in eighteen minutes?
How absurdly horrendous,
Isn't each dying moment precious?

If pigs are the reason for this,
First the swine flu
And then the virus,
Why do we have them at all
In our mouth-watering menu?
I imagined Vishnu smiling,
In my ears softly whispering,
'Go deep and look for the remedy
If pigs are the reason for this mayhem
The cure might also come from them,' I repeated,
The cure might also come from them.

With this, the Lord disappeared in my dream,
When will my wailing world
From this invisible viral germ be delivered?
I forgot to ask this to Him
My Vishnu, my shepherd.
