This city has slowly and steadily, become an epidemiological hotspot,
Whether its Covid, Nipah or Dengue, I'll leave for you to spot.
The population dividend of youth, on which people had set hope high,
Has suddenly backfired here, and from this viral disease now many people die.
While in China its on decline, in the US its on rise,
In India its difficult to measure, but this city has won the prize.
It used to fluctuate seasonally, peaking in May/June time,
Now the peak has shifted to August, without reason or rhyme.
All we know for certain, its more fatal in boys than girls,
Many oysters broken/ left behind, in the search for the golden pearls.
Some areas within the hotspot, are hotter and in red more,
No wonder they are located, near institutes of legends yore.
The Kashi of education, this city claims to be,
If we don't eradicate soon enough, the city of death it will truly be.
