Twenty twenty life went on pause!

sue.evans

 

Twenty twenty life went on pause

Stay at home, save lives, protect the nhs

The byline - and we gave our applause

Before - I believe the world was a mess-

Rat race on steroids, greed and thuggery!

Selfish acts and Commerce skullduggery

Society in crisis the simple summary!

Then pandemic pause from this drudgery!

 

Pause to breathe - a slower pace

Pause from the materialistic fight

Pause- look around, accept with grace

The need to value what is right

Pause - no rush hour traffic

Pause and listen to each other

Pause - realise - we aren’t on automatic!

 

A journey to rediscover Human creativity

New age Communication reaching out

The Human race regaining dignity

The fate of the world was in doubt!

Then twenty twenty life went on pause

A pervading pandemic hit us all!

Was our modern day Babylon the cause?

 

Pause- think - will we learn from this stink?

As a fragile new normal begins

Will global health be in the pink?

Have we paid in full for our worldly sins?

Twenty twenty when life went on pause

Ask yourself ‘What was the real cause?’

    In that 'pause' many people brought respect for others back into their lives, let us hope that continues.

      It was that very thought that prompted my words. I believe we were all on a downward spiral - the human race as one that is- but sadly I’ve already seen some people behaving as they would have before. Unfortunately some people just don’t learn!

      this is such an intriguing read
      showcasing your practised nurturing: of poetic skill,
      a wonderful read and considered commentary on covid
      thanks for sharing
