KURKURE

 Sri Hari Singh Munda

Confronted with a constable at Kharagpur Station
I stated that I went to Khirai to work as a farm labour.
Noticing my tiffin carrier he enquired, " Where have you come from?"
I assured him that it contained only the nectar of 'hariah !'
Perhaps he assumed that the tiffin carrier contained 'bomb.'
I wondered if he would not be able to consume it.
Scrutinizing my luggage he wanted to know, "what is inside it ?"
I assured him that it has only dried fish.
Again he asked me, "where will you go ?" 
I stated curtly that I am looking for a suitable place to sit on. 
At one corner, I sat down relaxing but keeping an eye at my luggage, 
Suddenly startled with someone patting my back,
"O, God, this is my son's father;" wanted to know 
if he brought the sweets he went to 
purchase.
He replied that not being able to find sweets
he purchased Kurkure and offered me to eat it.

Covid 19 

Sri Hari Singh Munda

'Corona',  'Corona'
Don't make tricks with us anymore.
We are terribly intimidated by your might
Save our world by taking a swift flight.  

Otherwise this beautiful green planet
will turn into a graveyard ; 
there will be no trace
of mankind any longer.

Then only trees will remain
along with water and air ;
As there will be no trace of man
The sky will poke fun at them.

We'll worship thirty three crores of our Deitiey

"Save mankind, liberate them ;"
for God's sake ' Corona ' 
Leave us and depart soon hence.
