Reset and Reshape

the covid 19 pandemic has altered humanity ... laid the world bare ... recovery will take time and the way we live must be altered globally values have transformed and wait for a world-wide reset ~ I have changed so much since the beginning of this pandemic that I am not the same person but a better person has evolved ~ world-wide we must build together stronger expectations, become more resilient, greener together we can build a better planet ... but we need solutions from world leaders it will not be simple ... but we can and we will ~ as I watched on television the horrors of covid 19 something inside of me was born and a person emerged with serenity and tranquility in her heart ~ reality is the pandemic has made some rich large businesses thriving while small close people lose their jobs, masks mandatory ... children unable to play in parks ... or go to school people died 'alone' ... ~ we are almost there as populations get vaccinated soon societies can amend, modify and revamp with far-reaching plans ... all-embracing ... and to those we think the pandemic was a conspiracy, I say ... tell that to the millions of families grieving deaths and who could not even give their loved ones ... proper funerals ~ soon, it will be time to reset and reshape are you ready ? _ ~ ___________________ June 17, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/reset and reshape Copyright Protected, ID 06-1365-039-17 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Global Reset 21 sponsor, Joe Maverick, Judged 07/11/2021 Seventh Place

Wonderful, Constance. Simply superb writing on the subject. The pandemic was real...and you make that clear. And, yes, I see some resetting and reshaping in the near future. I just hope we are ready.
