QUARANTINE LIFE : POETRY PROMPT----SHELTER IN PLACE 2


Behold the great Himalayas  
Take a deep breath of much cleaner air
Greenhouse emissions are falling
No one's going anywhere

Climate no longer in crisis
Gas prices falling like rain
There’s so much room on the Metro 
No packed passengers on the train 

Home has become the new office
Handshakes and hugs on a break
Water has never been cleaner
Wee hours catch us awake 

Who wants to go back to normal?
The rat race has lost its appeal
Being caught unprepared is a lesson
Values of leaders revealed

Parents are teaching their children
While overwhelmed servers crash 
So they revisit the basics
Worried when they’ll run out of cash 

Goodness is making a comeback
Like the views we could never see
No longer is the Earth groaning
Some, once in denial, believe

Behold the great Himalayas
No longer obscured; gleaming bright
Like all of the newly crowned heroes
On the front lines of the fight
