~A Promise of Prose~
Where, did my fingers go
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.

Covid took away the ability for eye contact, for the most part, that in itself is an isolation direction, society does not need, ever!
I agree with you all the way about the change.
I wish it could be said that the changes are good for the most part,
such a simple thing I miss, is a walk, talking and holding hands, those moments seem to be on their way gone..........
Nice to see back writing.
I know how you feel about the state of the world.
But, even though we were divided and kept in isolation, we mustn't let it take over and bring us down
Sometimes it's in moments of darkness that we find our greatest inspirations and opportunities.
