We’ve had an unusual year and a half
All the distancing
All the worrying
All the isolation
All the confusion
All the triumphs and failures
All of us pulling together most times
But some being more lucky in their access to what they need
Our world is not operating as a whole yet
We are still segmented into countries and tribes
Otherwise we would probably be in a different place now
Will we learn our lesson?
I’m not sure
Our nationalism has a strong hold on us
In a world that operates as a whole
We insist on only looking out only for ourselves
There is mistrust
There is lack of compassion
There is lack of unity
What is for sure it that now to solve our problems
We need to work together
Today’s world works as a unit
And the sooner we figure that out the better
