Poem: 'What Self-Isolation Has Given Us'

A poem by BLF member Nicky*

"TRAFFIC has gone,

FUEL is affordable,

BILLS extended.

KIDS are at home with their FAMILIES.

PARENTS are home taking care of their CHILDREN.

FAST FOOD replaced by HOME COOKED MEALS.

Hectic SCHEDULES replaced by NAPS, REST, and RELAXATION.

The AIR seems CLEANER.

The WORLD quieter.

PEOPLE are conscious about HYGIENE and HEALTH.

MONEY doesn't seem to make the WORLD GO ROUND anymore.

DOCTORS AND NURSES are being praised and recognized instead of athletes and celebrities

And WE now have TIME, finally,

to STOP and SMELL the ROSES.

The positive side above all!"
