Act
Normally, we are quite happy the way
our lives move, remain busy in the rut
of routine and mundane, we stay away
from unknown, no time to pause to see what;
Do we think prior to work or just play
our roles; Current lock down forced us to shut
doors, stay home; Nature made to think the way
how we've polluted it no matter what.
It's time to reflect on life, only way
to save lives is to save nature, somewhat
let's be sure the virus won't fly away
soon, no trick, act now; you know how and what.
Amidst uncertainty must apply mind
as we wish to live, best ways we've to find.

Solihull Sonnet::
The Solihull sonnet form was invented by Barry Hopkins,
writing on Allpoetry as Black Narcissus and composed as a double sonnet.
The sonnet may be written in either iambic pentameter or tetrameter.
A volta is optional, (Which makes for a easy story telling sonnet.)
but if it occurs shall occur at line 13.
Rhyme Scheme ababababababcc.
(Differs from the Indonesian Sonnet, only by the final couplet.)
