Covid taught us many things
How to bring everything to a halt
From home
How to safely distance
From those who would harm
How to remove ourselves
From toxic situations
And heal quietly
Powerfully
In meditation
Anger drives one from shelter
Shouting targets gather
In one day one week
The world could change
Refuse
Garbage
Leaving bandwagons unattended
Circled around the fire
Who would force us from homes
To do jobs overworked and underpaid
No leader
Nothing to fear
While we make soup and bread
And dine on ethics
Not a truth perhaps
Nor a strategy
Gone to ground
Until the world shifts
Mutual aid and cooperation
Widespread restitution
Commitment to taking care
Of each other
Could begin anytime
Anywhere
Anynow
