The People Who Learned

Once upon a time not long ago,
on the 3rd planet from the sun,
a group of beings called humans
had almost had their run.


Lives were lived at bullet-train speed,
havoc and hopelessness floated in the air,
eyes rarely met, ears rarely listened,
there was little time to show they care.


Then along came a virulent invader
storming towns and cities worldwide.
The people retreated for cover,
took their loved ones and started to hide.


In hiding, they each discovered
all the good things that they had forgot.
Small things, big things, in between things
and they realized it was a lot!


Like what really mattered and why
and how each of them truly had worth.
How important just washing your hands was
and to a new way of being gave birth.


The people started seeing a difference
even before the war saw its end.
The people envisioned a new garden,
everyone's challenge it was to tend.


And one day the black clouds finally parted,
the people could now freely move,
they could play and hug and visit,
their hearts and minds now were soothed.


With clean hands and full hearts they started
to build a new way to live,
to plant seeds of civility, peace, and love,
everyone had something to give.


Those humans, they learned a few lessons,
the hard way, to be sure,
but the greatest one they discovered
was that love was really the cure.
