we had it coming
we had it coming
looking at pictures of an empty Piccadilly Circus
or the Eifel tower in Paris all are empty of life except
for police cars cruising to fine anyone breaking the law.
The emptiness is awesome and frightening to think
How quickly humankind can disappear forever and
When pandemic is over, there might be another one.
Millions of people all over the world rotting in their homes
The disappearance of humans is a near reality.
The only hope is that we lived a tolerable good life.
The future will consist of animals hunting each other.
Cities will crumble, art and culture of no value.
We had it coming, I despair.

Very vivid reality from your personal perspective, Oskar. I have yet to encounter an art class in virtual learning for my grandson; however, I can take him on virtual tours of museums. . .so at least there's that.
