Lockdown

By Mount Zinai

Just because the world is in crisis, doesn’t mean you have to be, Just because they turn a blind eye, Doesn’t mean you have to say you didn’t see, We are forced to be still and sit with yourselves, It’s time to do work and listen to your inside voices, As you analyse all your recent life choices, Use this time given, To sharpen, Your mindset and habits, Are they healthy? Or are they keeping you in prison, Travel with your heart and soul, Set yourself daily goals, Stay away from those internet trolls, Who are only there to dampen your soul, Have conversations with the wise and old, Laugh and play, with the babies and the young, Take each day as it comes, And fill it with enlightenment and fun, Take time to indulge in nature As it is there, we are reminded of the scriptures, And remember just because the world is in crisis, doesn’t mean you have to be. Where shall we go? To the river, spring or sea, Our bodies are home, but our mind is free, Go within, there is a whole world to explore and see.
