A populace of many
Thought a solution out of touch
That nothing could be done
To heal the world they loved so much
Climate change
Air pollution
Greenhouse gases
Temperatures rising and the contamination of water
The list is nothing new
And only names but a very few …
Then Mother Nature woke one morning
Stretched and bidding the sun to rise
Said … have this virus and practice
Learn that there’s still time
After such a short while
Reduced flights meant purer air
Less tourism saw cleaner waters
And a dramatic drop in needless waste
The list is such a breakthrough
It names but a very few …
This needs to carry on
When so-called normality returns for me and you
But that is up to us all
And not just a well-intentioned few
