Memories……

Some thoughts from this time of the last year,
When the coming one did not seem near!
Carefree, full of promise, calm & tranquil,
For everything, our hearts were thankful!
 
A vacation unique & irreplaceable,
Time and all my actions still traceable,
Yet they seem so distant & unreal today
As I am yearning to wish this year away!!
 
While politics get mired with reality,
And the differences vanish between dishonesty & morality
Difficult times like these show us
The worthlessness of any dialogue or points to discuss!!
 
There is a government for whom, we know not,
We are the portion of the segment it forgot,
The lines are blurred between every societal part
Actions & reactions are happening without any heart!!


Being left in the lurch, all by ourselves,
The situation at hand is what compels,
All of us to act, engage & maybe exploit
Especially when there is no checkpoint!!
 
‘Essential’ is deemed thus for reasons unknown,
And for lack of this understanding I am not alone,
The fearful impact of the company amiss
No one can casually dismiss!!
 
Children crave the company of friends,
Fashion is missing on all the hep, new trends,
While somehow each of us is learning to keep alive
There is never ‘quality’ in the strife to just survive!!
 
Many are cooking and the other half teaching,
As the Earth heals, the other one-third are preaching,
Some like us are devoting their time
Running our homes & washing the grime!!
 
A mundane task often occupies my day,
Like many others I can hardly predict my today,
But in between the routine and common place,
New tasks were embraced & myths displaced!!!
 
The new year saw me uncertain of what I wanted to do
I often wondered & reasons tried to review,
Now I know why I desisted taking up something new,
There would be a virus wreaking havoc, I hadn’t the clue!!
 
With one half of the year inside four walls,
And the other half under an uncertain recall,
I am tempted to rewind my life to my memories,
And hoping to find viable remedies!!!
