once the world was perfect
and we were happy in that world
then we took it for granted
discontent began a small rumble in the Earthly mind.
we destroyed the world we have been given
for inspiration for life
each stone of jealousy each stone of
fear
greed
envy
and hatred
put out the light
no one was without a stone in his or her hand
[Various clips from TV News]
"2019 novel corona virus"
"incomparable enemy virus"
"biological weapons"
"supplies are being rationed"
"in some cases death"
"37 million Americans might lose their jobs"
"Quarantine is vital to fight the virus"
there we were right back where we had started
we were bumping into each other in the dark
and now we had no place to live
since we didn't know how to live with each other
