Everyone Breathless in Panicky State
Is there nothing to do now but just Sit and Wait?
And to TV and Phone
Check for Constant Update?
To Confirm More Bad News,
Addict’s Itch must we Sate?
Forget not that all ‘News’
Is not Kind Service Free
But most Business of Profit,
That gains each time we See.
For each Tidbit or Promise
Or Lead they do Tease
Brings more Money to Them,
But to Us more Unease.
In a country of Millions
Are thousands Infected,
And while Prudence is Wise
Still to Fear we’re Directed
No, I Do Not make Trivial
This Dire Heath Threat,
But also do Caution
World’s End is Not Yet!
‘Twas just Few Weeks Ago
You said ‘I Need a Break’
And while NOT one like This
Still Advantage should Take!
Yes, This Too Shall Pass –
Yes it Certainly Will
And when does Don’t Be One
Who asks ‘Why’d I Sit Still?’
Yes I Hope that you’re Healthy
And Hope You Are Well,
But Caution you Not
To Fall under Fear’s Spell.
No, I Do Not Belittle
What we’re Going Through,
But how You Respond
Still Remains Up To You!
Remember All Those ‘Things’
Always ‘Want To Get To’?
That ‘If Only Had Time’
You Wanted To Do?
Guess What? You’ve time NOW
But Forever t’won’t Last
And Soon, I Do Hope,
This ‘Stop Time’ will have Passed!
So let’s All Take a Breath
See this Unwanted Gift
Of a Break in Routine
Chance to Take Stock and LIft
Your Future Life to
Better Place You CAN See
You’ve Time Now to Take Steps
Toward you YOU Want To BE!
Every Day, Even Now
Presents Each with a Chance
To Sit on Sidelines
Or Partake in The Dance!
I do Urge you the Latter
If Music you Hear,
And if NOT do Suggest
That You Q-Tip your Ear!
Make the Most of this Time
It Won’t Always Be Here
Know that Seeds you Plant Now
Will Bloom later This Year
To come from this State
Might seem There’s Nothing Good…
But with Courage and Purpose
Say I Something Could!
So Turn Off Those Screens
That Bring Fear Through the Air,
And Remember Action’s ALWAYS
Antidote to Despair!
