Wake Up!
We’re all one and the same.
Stress over death.
Pre-pandemic era denial.
Uncontrollable management
assessment sobbing.
Unacceptable.
Group psychiatric sessions,
abandoned impediments.
Redundant.
Mindful of possessions.
No clutter. Creative joy
investments.
Preloved communication
objects rejuvenate your
world.
Writerly passions replace
lost loves’ addictions.
Material.
Reinvention serenity,
open to clouds, roses,
poetry.
Bicycle, walking or public
transport preferred.
Crop rotation and grass-fed cows.
Coronavirus banished to its
natural habitat.
Thanks to Henery X (Long) who kindly included me in this challenge.
You might consider this free verse to be more of a shopping list of things that I’d like people to wake up to and demand!
I may have gone overboard with the links but all interesting reads on how the whole world can do better. Except for the teleportation, I’m still holding out for it. It might not happen in my lifetime though!
This is one from Desiree Driesenaar whose work I admire tremendously.
Karen Madej is usually an English Language Coach to French business people but currently, due to circumstances outside of her control, she is not doing too well in her ILLUMINATION writer and editor activities due to packing up her flat and moving nearer her call centre job. Normal service will be resumed in a couple of weeks. She did manage to squeeze in a video bio and hopes to achieve YouTube superstardom in the near future.
