The world around us

We all screamed
Day after day
For the world to slow down
Less trash, Breathable air
Congestion free roads
Freedom of childhood
To do things at our own pace
Wandering carelessly
In comfort of being at home
With world full of  
Love, happiness and compassion
And humanity as the only religion
 
We all screamed
With the fear of a deadly virus
Spreading beyond borders
At lightening speed,  
Infecting million lives and killing few,
Keeping us quarantined
In hospitals and home
Making us crazy for toilet rolls
Living everyday with fear
Of unseen future  
And of getting infected
By the deadly virus
 
Only if we had looked around
The world has actually slowed down
With empty roads and breathable air
Pollution level has dipped globally
Dolphins are back in Venice
People are back in home
With family and loved ones
Singing songs from the balcony
Showering unconditional
Love, joy and happiness
Making the world more livable,
Beautiful and more earth like.
 
It is the Universe way
Of reminding us  
That through altering the world’s perspective  
and by helping people become truly content, kinder, more compassionate,
decisions and actions will inevitably follow.  
Making us more human  
And our planet more earth like.
