                 Summary 

The poem "Corona Says" is a poem written by Vishnu S, Rai. It is on the theme of the pandemic covid-19 which is caused by corona virus and its devastating impact. It is one of the most burning crises of the present world. From the title of the poem it is clear that Corona is saying something to humans. Now a days, corona is quite common among the people of the earth. All are quite familiar with it. This pandemic has taken the lives of many people of the world. The speaker of the poem is corona. It asks the listeners, human beings not to cry and curse for its damage because the listeners are polluting the earth. Because of their irrational behaviours, corona is compelled to come to the earth. In fact, it has been invited. Corona, (like other pandemics), is the result of human behavior and activities that are not responsible for nature. It claims that their activities have invited it. Because of their invitation corona has no choice except letting people suffer and die. The speaker also claims that the number of deaths is caused by wars is higher than the death caused by corona virus.

in this poem human superiority over other creatures in the earth is criticized sharply. The pandemic questions us that other inferior creatures have much freedom than us. We are taking us as the most intelligent one but we are becoming victim due to the pandemic. Our so called superiority is useless. We think ourselves as the king of the earth. We can easily sell or kill the living organisms flying in the sky, living in the ocean and crawling on land. which are now free and not affected by the pandemic but we are in great trouble.

In the poem, some positive impacts of the disease are mentioned. Because of the pandemic the blue sky is clean and clear without dust and smoke because human beings are in the situation like the animals in a cage. They can't do any activity outside their homes. They have the feeling like caged animals. The earth has got very good chance to take rest.

The speaker threatens us that other creatures like it will come to the earth if we don't change or stop our inflated (air-filled) ego. In that situation we have to stay or remain in the cave which happened many years ago.
