Look around

Take a look around

What do you see,

Not how people used to be,

Corrupted by social media

And what’s on the TV screen,

It’s a far cry from the ideal dream,

People not going out as much as they did

Doing home shopping just to exist,

Home delivery take aways thrive

They see this as the new life,

You don’t have to make the effort to get it,

It’s like self imposed isolation

As if going out is a social violation,

Talking on messenger, what’s app and teams

I am not sure this  is what existing means,

Do maybe just take a look around

What is it you see that is within your surrounds,

If it’s not nature then get out,

And break out of your self imposed cell

Then run around and scream and shout,

To recapture what it was like to be free

While excited by the birds, insects and bees,

That lives in conjunction with you and me.
