Poem ‘Let’s Self-Quarantine’ by Abu Sufian

Let’s Self-Quarantine by Abu Sufian

Let’s flee from the madding crowd,
Let’s flee from the judgmental society—
Let’s run away to the quietness
Let’s run away to our private space.

Let’s elope from the suffocation we feel from far away,
Let’s elope from those stigmatize our love—
Let’s make a run for our very own survival,
Let’s make a run for our divine love.

Let’s skip the systematic office,
Let’s skip the strict school—
Let’s do a bunk for our insatiable union like snakes,
Let’s do a bunk for reading our minds without borders.

Let’s escape from the harsh reality
Let’s escape from the mortal life of suffering—
Let’s go discretely to fulfill our delightful dreams,
Let’s go discretely to Self-Quarantine—now and forever.
