TIME TO MOVE ON

 
I remember the days when our vision was a haze
When we breathed in air, that just didn’t care
The birdsong was a distant memory
To younger people it was a story
I remember when our world was so noisy
The sound of silence was a mystery
I remember when we met up with our family
And made contact with a cuddle
The norm was a lot of hustle and bustle
Our news was fake
And business was met with a hand shake
I remember when we were told the world had a virus
This made me furious
Though now I wonder
If a scientist’s blunder
Will bring back humanity
Though at the cost of my sanity
Our air is better
And though poison travelled on a letter
We read enough to learn how to communicate with neighbours
Doing each other favours
Mass showing of our appreciation of others
All standing together
Sisters and brothers
And though we had to spend time apart
Those we love were, and always, will remain in our heart
 God bless our earth
And the birth
Of all what is new
This beautiful view
The clean air
The fish in our rivers
That we thought had long gone
To the choirs that give song
Thinking how it was before, gives me shivers
Swans they swim
For most, the future won’t be grim
We are all in this together
Gliding on the angel’s feather
Keep faith in what is to come
Our maker has spoken
Look to the sun
The earth has been choking
Time to move on
