Isolation From the Self

It’s in times like this we realise

If only we were out more often

And dint keep ourselves isolated

From people and things that matter.

                                     

It’s in times like this we realise

The importance of Values

more than anything

To be

selfless and not selfish

But did we all realise it

Or is it just the few of us

                                     

It’s in times like this we realise

The importance of doing good.

Good to people both who we love and hate

                                     

It’s in times like these this we realise

That not all are on the same page

For some isolation from the self

has become a blessing in disguise

 while for others

It’s a reason for whining and frustration

                                     

It’s in times like this that we realise

How important it is for us to realise

 the purpose of our existence

to support and encourage

And realise the consequences to our actions.

                                     

It’s in times like this that we realise

That what matters most is love

And love above all is what the world needs

Love to self and others.

                                     

It’s in times like this we realise

How circumstances change

How days turn into weeks

Weeks into months.

                                     

It’s in times like this we realise

The importance of faith

In oneself and the almighty

And to have patience and hope

To sail through the times
