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!

a wonderful read and considered commentary on covid
