Take Nothing For Granted, Post Covid-19 Poem by Hebert Logerie

Post Coronavirus, we should take nothing, nichts for granted
This is no longer business as usual, things need to be updated
Like a GPS, we need to recalculate the route, the itineraries
Otherwise, we'll be lost, and will end up in the middle of the seas.

Life is different than yesterday, even the birds and the squirrels
Are wondering: what's happening to human beings? The streets
Are no longer crowded. There're fewer trains running on the rails
Fewer planes in the blue sky, and less human activities in the suites.

It's obvious pollution is at all time low and the birds and the squirrels
Are enchanted to enjoy the spring weather with fewer interruptions
No basketball or football playing in the parks. Look at the slow turtles

Crisscrossing the highways. This is unheard of to witness fewer commotions
Nonetheless, the flowers are blooming and more eensy leaves are coming out
Of the branches. And it's recommended to constantly recalculate the route.
