2020 Reprise

Down here, we were scurrying to and fro, back and forth Run, run, run; pushing and shoving getting to where we NEEDED to go In a hurry, hustling and bustling no time to stop and chat Busy, busy, busy eighteen hours a day click-clack, click-clack of computer keys... Way up there, someone was watching it all, thinking -- What FOOLS they are So, he pulled the lever on our track and it all came to a dead halt

When the "lever" comes in the form of a pandemic, people are sometimes "off track." I truly believe the virus was sent to us to get us to treat each other and our planet better. A very insightful poem, Gershon. I hope you have been staying well. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you for the compliment, Carolyn. I've been staying home 95% of the time, and am healthy. Hope you are well too! Cheers, Gershon

How true that is Gershon, stopped dead in our tracks, makes you look at things in a different light for sure. Tom

And don't forget, Jenish: FOOLS backwards are -- fools whose faces you can't see! :) gw
