What happened to you: world?

by Vash

What happened to you: world?
where did we go wrong?
stay home stay safe you say
hadn’t we been doing it all along?
I ponder on this a lot now than before
had we forgotten to lead an ordinary life?
Had we become selfishly avaricious?
I guess this is a lesson for the humankind
to take a step down, take it slow and unwind
Let us stop for a while to ponder
Let us evince empathy towards Mother Earth
Let her breathe less polluted air
Let the birds and animals feel it’s their home too
yes you taught us
exams, work, travel, shopping, can wait
But the need to show real value
towards life to humans canNOT
I ask What If everything goes to normal
and we forget the lesson learnt?
You say, do try to remember
Otherwise Not just one
there are many other ways
from which I can bring you down!
