Thermodynamic free energy they said, Is the unifying principle of life, The edifice, the tenet , the principle, for life’s sustenance, they said. And yet and yet , it is ironic though, the same free energy considerations, dictate & bind the lethal covid virus, to the unsuspecting human host. As it ravages the arrogant human race, country by country and continent too, unparalleled in misery & grief unheard, In words or verse, can never be told. As governments, rulers , doctors, data scientists & epidemiologists behold. Perplexing issues; even as they grapple, new variants wreck the scene again. As I see the pall of death and misery abound, The reminders of my grief stricken brethren, evokes and begs a question , deep inside, Can science address? OR is it the Lord’s round?
