We are…closed for repairs

We are alive in an astonishing age

In the middle of a time each one will gauge

The learning curve is escalating wildly

Tough lessons being imparted ever so mildly

 

We are like the phoenix rising from the ember

In the middle of a time history will remember

A collective conscience is woken up from its slumber

We tread upon remnants of old arrogances and behavior

 

We are a people full of eclectic mixes

We conquer space yet we don’t have fixes

For blind beliefs biases and bigotries

Not many topics on earth where everyone agrees

 

We are at crossroads confused about making correct choices

We silence our gut feelings amid flashy charlatan voices

Truths are trickier to cherry-pick and validate

Lies are so easily swallowed when egos inflate

 

We are no longer afraid of an uncertain future

Enough strife under our belts and a confidence to nurture

The spirit is the strongest when pushed against the wall

It replenishes a lungful of hope and hardiness after every fall

 

We are waking up to some unique understandings

Even in a pandemic we look for happy endings

We are garnering strength to reject the naysayer

To stand on our feet again we must kneel down in prayer

 

We are here. Armed with ‘today’ encapsulated in a trice

Realizing that to really survive how little is suffice

Earth is temporarily closed for evolving please bear with us

Adapt. Adjust. Grow. Give. Move on. Just don’t miss the bus

 

We are closed for repair

Let’s prepare…….
