Translation: Dead bodies
Translation: I picked up the newspaper as soon as I woke up (opened my eyes in the morning)
Translation: It has an unusual stink
Translation: Comparatively it even weights heavy, on an inner page there is a news about dead bodies
Translation: It feels as if I am holding dead bodies instead of newspaper today
Translation: Who's decomposing stink has penetrated till my mind
Translation: I quickly closed that page, just like government covers confidential data
Translation: Now far away from the news yet with that stink
Translation: I am seating lost and alone.
Poem by Ankit Pandey, on the death count during Covid-19
