QUARANTINE LIFE: POETRY PROMPT/ PRESERVE YOUR PEACE


Why shouldn't I be anything but civil?

Why should I be any other way?

Why be saddled with fake pleasantries and drivel?

Why fear saying what I truly want to say?


There's a level of kindness I’ll show everyone

Just because they’ve a pulse that I detect

Neither status, nor fame, 

Nor an often dropped name

Has any bearing on who I will respect 


But when it comes to granting access, or time

There’s a boundary that surely must be laid

I know now, more than ever, how I value joy

And the peaceful, safe haven I have made...
