Corona Says by Vishnu S. Rai
SUMMARY OF THE POEM
Corona Says by Vishnu S. Rai
This poem has presented the world crisis of Corona and its devastating impacts on human beings.
This poem has been composed by a Nepali poet, Visnu S. Rai, a retired professor and well-known creative writer and poet.
It has presented the major theme of the world crisis, Corona, and its devastating impact on human life. This poem is a subtle satire on man's conduct and attitude. This pandemic, COVID-19, is considered the byproduct of man's treatment of nature.
The main speaker of the poem is Corona. This pandemic Corona has been personified as masculine gender here.
In the poem, we find the main speaker, Corona, directly speaking to humans and making them realise the facts behind the present devastation.
He is continuously claiming, blaming, warning, and even making humans realise their misdeeds on this beautiful planet, its nature, and other creatures.
This poem has six different stanzas. In the very first stanza, we find the speaker speaking to a man. The speaker asks the man not to curse him. He denies man's claim of coming to this planet of his own free will and even taking thousands of lives and destroying the world's economy.
He claims that he was invited to this planet against his will. According to him, he arrived on this planet due to human beings' bad conduct and attitudes towards nature. Here, he calculates the number of dead people and even blames humans for their destructive wars and their bad impacts on this planet.
Later on, the speaker blames humans for their useless arrogance. He states that humans on this earth think of themselves as 'the crown of creation' (king or superior of this nature). Due to this arrogance of superiority, humans are treating other creatures as their slaves. The speaker puts forward his opinion, saying that all the creatures on this planet have similar values to humans. For him, the earth isn't individual property. It is equally true for all living beings. All the living beings on this planet, such as the birds in the sky, creatures in the sea, creeping insects on land, sources of life, etc., have similar value.
He feels that the mother (earth) itself is feeling the burden due to all these bad activities of humans.
He makes all humans realise the clean environment on this planet after his arrival. He mentions the clean blue sky without dust or smoke. He tries his best to show the mirror of reality to all the humans, explaining the feelings of caged animals in a zoo. This particular trapped life of humans during the period of lockdown is similar to the caged lives of animals in the zoo. He states that he had come to provide little rest to the mother (earth).
He further adds that the mother earth belongs to every single living being, not just humans. Eventually, he warns the humans to get rid of their meaningless egos; otherwise, many others, like speakers, will come here on this planet, and humans will have to return to the cave as before.
