History will
remember when the world stopped
And the
flights stayed on the ground.
And the cars
parked in the street.
And the
trains didn’t run.
History will
remember when the schools closed
And the
children stayed indoors
And the
medical staff walked towards the fire
And they
didn’t run.
History will
remember when the people sang
On their
balconies, in isolation
But so very
much together
In courage
and song.
History will
remember when the people fought
For their
old and they're weak
Protected
the vulnerable
By doing
nothing at all.
History will
remember when the virus left
And the
houses opened
And the
people came out
And hugged
and kissed
And started
again
Kinder than
before.
