In Times Like These

The farther we move the closer we get, The distance between is a measure of love, Bad memories of the past, you two forget, New memories to create from here and now! The mind was glued to things of irrelevance, The office work and petty human politics, The lockdown has been of great benevolence, Cementing of love and elimination of conflicts. The dark tunnel called the civilised world, Was blinded with gimmick that were never needed, So harsh in our words, in relationships cold, Words of reason and wisdom went unheeded! In the tormenting floods of viral disease, Breathless, drowning, dying, many survived, May the education remain when flood recedes, In light of experience, let good values be revived. In times like these your wisdom is your angel, Guiding you past the rough terrains of fate, A voice of hope, a post for eternal vigil, It redirects your life by opening a new gate.
